Mr. Obvious. Very nice.
Precisely the only way to determine value. Head to head.
The value that others perceive has little or no bearing since they hear and spend differently.
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
The MSRP of my DAC is $20,000. Esoteric N-01XD. Or it was when I bought it a couple of years ago.
Is this too bad? Can I be “saved”?

Social priorities. I had pulled up to a huge intersection with red light (six lanes plus turning lanes - so 10 across) on my bicycle in the left turn lane (as appropriate). No other car anywhere in site except one that pulled up two lanes to my right. This guy starts yelling “get off my f**king road, I pay taxes… you pr**k… etc. you looser. I had paid over $140,000 in just federal taxes that year. Without question many times what he could possibly paid. The most clueless, tend to attack others. | |
My 2 cents. I recently bought, at a great deal, the Meitner MA-1 DAC. Love it!!! It is just a DAC. Sounds GREAT. I do not use a streamer. I have a Windows 10 based computer attached directly to the DAC, also connected via an Ethernet cable. I currently stream Qobuz and also use a Rs2T Project transport, with a LTA Linear power supply, which also runs through the Meitner DAC, Incredible, ask Charles one Dad who has commented earlier. I can't speak for the newest MA-3, but,, I'm sure it's top shelf. Meitner and EMM labs are at the top. If you can find an MA-1, Great. Then decide what streamer, if necessary you may prefer. Just my 2 cents. Robert TN |
