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

@nyev Statement is on another system. So, I bought the Phoenix Recklocker and put it on my Zenith with the LessLoss Echo's End, guess I will be selling the Phoenix Recklocker. Did absolutely nothing in the chain with the LessLoss Echo's end. Sure, am glad it was a demo, and I got a good deal. Sounds choked off with this Innuos Phoenix in the chain. Goes to show a great DAC is all thats needed with great USB. May sell the Statement and 680D, buy a Zenith and another LessLoss for upstairs. 

The Zenith is on its own considered a fine music server. So, reclocking may be unnecessary. I don’t believe that some low quality server/streamer would allow the Echo End DAC to shine.It still benefits from a good quality source in front of it.

@lalitk Brinkmann Nyquist MKII doesn’t sound like digital at all. Brinkmann voiced it to his turntable. 

It was a paradigm shift for me in that it didn’t sound like any other DAC.

You can hear Brinkmann’s uncompromising vision for digital in this DAC.
