Dac Upgrade

are there any other good / better dacs out there

To name a few well regarded companies that produce DACs.

Bryston

WYred4Sound

Schiit

Gold Note

Moon

Benchmark

PS Audio

get the Halo and send it to me to upgrade.  It will better anything mentioned above by some large margin.  Since my company builds reference audio components you need to tell us what type of sound you like otherwise all the recommendations are useless.  I can tailor the sound to your liking with upgrades.

We build R2R tube DACs but some of the non R2R DACs compete but have a different sound in direct comparison.

Happy Listening.

What kind of sonic improvements are you looking for?

Great bang for the buck dac right now is Gustard R26. R2r sounds great with built in lan end point. Some have added modest priced external clocks to move it even further in sound. The best way I can describe it is musical. I sit down to listen to a few songs and find it very difficult to pry myself away. Any time I turn it on I just want to listen to one more song and then another and another. Does not matter what I throw at it it just makes music!

Strongly consider a Merason
