Accuphase dac 60

 

New guy posting here, lurking for awhile. I have a new Accuphase e380 integrated and love it. Thinking of getting the dac 60 card that goes with it. Thoughts, opinions please. Right now I have a ps audio digital link iii dac that is still going strong. What can I expect from a new modern dac?

 

not sure if this is the correct place to post this. TIA…

still can’t believe the volume difference between the two dacs

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.

Trying to find the Dac 60 card info, but the ps audio xlr output is 5.5 volts and rca is 2.75 volts according to Crutchfield. I’m using xlr into the amp.

I can’t find anything on the accuphase output at the moment.

The output voltage of P.S.Audio XLR is quite high. So a lot of gain it contributes to your overall system gain. If the DAC 60 is around 3-3.5V or certainly less voltage, there’s the likely issue.
