Accuphase dac 60

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,

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

Do you happen to know the stated output voltage of your P.S.Audio and DAC 60? If there’s a large discrepancy (For example, 1.5V versus 4-5V, ) that would explain a lot. Some DACs have output voltages in excess of 5V, that’s very high.
