DAC’s
Hello, curious on everyone’s thoughts. I’m still building my system. I came across a really good deal on a Meitner MA3 dac. It’s from an authorized dealer and they offered to sell me one NIB for 7k. I have read and read about dacs and I am getting tired. Haha. I really like the Denafrips Terminator 2, Holo and the lumin T3 being the cheapest of them all. Once I factor in a streamer I am already close or over the 7k. Also I don’t need a dac for anything other then just streaming. Thank you

OP, for that price, if true audio quality is the focus, you should find a way to do a blind test. You might not be able to tell the difference between a 2K DAC and a 7K DAC. At these upper price ranges they are all good. At these prices, perhaps we should not think about one device necessarily being better than another, but instead which device you find more pleasing or which suits your personal preferences and the rest of your gear. |
@jjss49 has a lot of wisdom in both posts….. no need to respond to a troll. I found the MSB analog w power base the near equal of my Aesthetix Pandora ….. Nits at this musical level…. Best to all in music |
That is a good price for a Meitner. If it were me, I would go for it. You can easily sell it for that price, if you don't like it. Actually, you could sell it for more. FWIW, I use Roon with a Brinkmann Nyquist. I don't need a Roon Core. Only a subscription to Roon and the Brinkmann does the rest. Probably best to make sure with Meitner if that is so with their unit. I can understand your trepidation. But, I had quite a learning curve when I moved to digital. I have owned many DAC's, from Schiit to Ayre. Moving to the Brinkmann pretty much ended my search. Though I haven't listened to the Meitner, I have heard good things about it, and I don't think you will be disappointed. Is there a possibility of you auditioning it against other brands at your dealer?
