Accuphase dac 60

@rms456 

Thanks, I decided to not keep the dac 60. I want to get something with more inputs and xlr outputs. I feel like there is a lot to choose from in the $1,000 to $2,000 price range. Now I don't know what to look at. I see the denafrips pontus ii is pretty popular. IDK and there is a lot on the used market. So any suggestions?

Well guys after looking around and getting sick of looking around at dac's, I decided to give the Accuphase dac 60 card another try and so far sounds great. Just glad I found the original cable problem and everything is fixed and sounding great. After this long thread, just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your help. I also learned how much louder and about voltage of xlr outputs on dac's and level matching at least. Never knew that before. Not sure if this is the case with all xlr outputs, such as preamps etc..

I learned a lot from all of this and hopefully someone else might have. Still waiting on a streamer, haven't decided, but will probably be a bluesound node. So, thanks again to everyone and everyone I might have not responded to for your help. 

This was never an accuphase or ps audio problem, just me, user error.

As you say, a learning experience (Which are part of the process and worthwhile). Everyone has had these in some manner or another. Bottom line is that you finally sorted things out and the Accuphase DAC 60 is sounding great! I’m happy for your outcome.
