A good friend brought over his Schiit Yggdrasil to compare to my Bricasti M3 (yes totally different price points) but Yggdrasil was totally flat sounding with no life to music. Just another point of view
DAC suggestions
I know I shouldn't have. I have an inexpensive PS Audio dac I upgraded after seeing it on the web. It sounds good but I'm looking for better. I would like to get away from some of the brashness, shimmer, sizzle whatever. In the past I have owned several different dacs including Antelope, AMR and an integral dac in Mac 2500 pre. Can you make a suggestion? My budget is around 2 grand used.
I'm curious about lampizator. Aqua voce, T+A. I know there are a million. My system consists of Bat 75se amp and currently but soon to change a Cary 98 slp pre and Von Schweikert VR4 jr speakers. thanks

Steven Stone really likes this new Topping, for a "reference" budget DAC. Bargain. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/topping-d90se-digital-to-analog-converter/ I am considering the Denafrips Pontus II (laddered resistor/R2R design), though the similar R2R-design Holo Spring 3 KTE (more $$) gets good reviews too. Alvin at Vinshine, the Denafrips worldwide distributor, is said to be great to deal with. Kitsune Audio, the Holo distributor in WA/USA is too. |
Linear Tube Audio is an MHDT dealer, if you want to deal with good folks in USA |
+1 @rsf507 That was my impression of the Schitt DAC also. |
