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…

yes, two different sources for optical and coaxial. The Rel T7x is connected with there speakon high level connection. Great sub by the way, I need to add another one.

I am guessing it is on the preamp. I can’t find anything on it and they are just inputs. How do most higher end companies do it, like luxman, rotel michi, Anthem, Parasound or anyone that has a built in dac on their preamp? I don’t know.

I noticed that your amp has “Individual phase setting for each input”, so you might try that to see if it helps. 

Does your music source have an attenuation you’ve used in the past to equalize your PS Audio DAC to your other sources?

You are pretty familiar with Accuphase components. Do you think that the DAC 60 card output voltage is derived from the integrated amplifier’s preamplifier output or does it likely have its own independent output voltage?

The only good DAC Accuphase built is the DC-1000.

It is amazing, it kill everything I heard from Aqua or Lampizator, regardless of the cost. It is a 20K unit though…. If it’s not for the DC-1000, plenty of better DACs for the money… Aqua and Lampizator to name a few.
