Accuphase dac 60

Thanks everyone for your help, I am trying real hard to like this new dac, but this should be a bit more exciting like when I traded my classe cp500 pre and Classé ca2200 amp towards the Accuphase.

That was a nice noticeable difference in sound for the better. My ps audio dac was also in that pre/pro combo and the same speakers and cables. The Accuphase e380 rated @ 120 watts per channel sound better than the Classé delta series, e we which I was shocked. 

Any way. Just thought I would give an update on the dacs and it is what it is. Totally different sounding and the gain difference. It’s not often I get to upgrade or mess around with this stuff. To me 18 years to say, maybe I should switch out that Classé gear and try something else.

I meant to say the accuphase e380 integrated amp itself is a treat to listen to and I enjoy it very much. 

I will admit, it is sounding better the longer it runs. Just have to turn the volume up more. It is crystal clear. Everything is running through my equitech son of q jr balanced power supply. Dead quiet background. Not the slightest bit of hiss coming from the speakers. The ps audio seems to be better in the midrange and bass and the dac 60 is better in the highs. The verdict is still out. Still playing around. I do have a comp/loudness button I can turn on at lower volume for better bass or tone controls. Right now I’m just trying it with everything deactivated on the integrated just like I had the ps audio.

I will admit, it is sounding better the longer it runs.

That is encouraging. Remain patient and allow your Accuphase DAC 60 to accumulate more hours of use.It appears that things are progressing in the right direction.

Best wishes,

Charles

Thanks, still can’t believe the volume difference between the two dacs . I have personally never ran into something like that.
