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

My brother owned the Meitner MA3 the Denafrips Terminator2 is better in every aspect and onky $4600 ,their brand new 12th anniversary model even betterstill

their 12 anniversary Terminator + is $7200.  And night and day better 

the best value the Top Audio GD   With regeneration  built in is very good underwood Wally $4200.  These are built exceptionally well over 40 pounds each.

and sound fantastic great R2R dacs Thst do everything well

holosprings  May KTE is another excellent dac . For less monies.

That’s my understanding as well. Maybe @gdnrbob found a way to run Roon app without Core. That would be a quite a feat and hence my curiosity. 

Buy the Holo May and send it to me for modification.  Then you can be done with all of this.

 

Happy Listening.
