Accuphase dac 60

So, another question for you guys. When I start streaming here soon, I will probably get the bluesound node. My dealer recommended that one. I will probably use the USB port on the dac. Should I keep the dac 60 for that purpose? I’m pretty sure the spec’s for that of the dac 60 are better.

 I am late to the game for streaming, but do pay for qobuz and use it through my iphone in the car.

Keeping in mind your issue with DAC60 and Node consideration, I recommend looking at external DAC like Denafrips Pontus II. I think you will be much happier with a DAC like Pontus in the long run. You have lot of options under $2K :-) 
 

@lalitk 

that is what I am thinking also. Is that a pretty nice dac? Seems like lots of people have it.

Agree, no shortage of choices of external DACs less than 2K. Another well regarded option is the Swiss made Merason Frerot DAC.

I think it would make a very nice pairing with E-380. There is another DAC that gets lots of high praises is MHDT Labs ORCHID, but I wouldn’t recommend it with E-380. Accuphase sound is already lean towards warm so you don’t want a tube source. With Accuphase, you need a DAC that is transparent and detailed.
