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…
When @lalitk said the slot chosen was the issue I thought “wow” what a simple fix (Resolution to the prob). Alas it wasn’t the culprit afterall. There’s still a possibility that something might be faulty. If indeed it is just a case of a very low voltage output, you would think at least a few others would have voiced similar concerns. Audio is both fascinating and at times frustrating. Charles |
I agree, it made a lot of sense.

I see, makes sense now. It’s not a bad dac at all. Sound is better the longer it runs and actually more bass now. Just the volume difference between the two something I’m not used to. If I didn’t have the ps audio here to compare it to, I would probably think totally different. The actual clarity and quiet background is great. Actually when I crank the volume with the ps audio I can start to here a little distortion and have to back it off. With the dac 60, it’s crystal clear as loud and safe as far as I feel comfortable taking it. |
Ha! This has been a learning experience. Burn-in for many components is most definitely real phenomenon. I’m not surprised that the Accuphase DAC 60 is steady improving its sound quality (And will continue further). The substantial difference in voltage output was/is off putting as a new experience. I’m not surprised that the DAC is beginning to emerge as more clear, pure and resolved. Charles |
