Second on the MHDT DACs
Dac that has tone and timing?
I’m hoping to see if anyone has experience and has found a dac that nails both a "meat on the bones" presentation that also preserves the leading edges of notes and maintains pace, rhythm, and timing. In general, it seems that tonally dense dacs tend to have rounded-off leading edges of notes, and dacs with great PRAT have a leaner tonality. I’d love it under $5k but willing to spend more if necessary.

Look no further then the T+A 200 dac , i am actually planning on buying this one hearing well over 12 dacs over $5 k imo and many others in our NE audio club over4 people we knew bought this .it is the most musically rewarding dac with many advanced technologies and even has the excellent HQ player capabilities and 4 settings designed around ,nothing better imo under $15k ,it sells retail $7k. Check out the reviews then find a dealer to demo it , just go to their website and click on each picture square that describes this digital marvel. |
@akiravelvet +1 for Lampizator. I have a Baltic 4 and it's both tonally dense yet resolving. About $7K new retail so above the OP's preferred budget but worth the stretch IMO. To my ears it is clearly a better DAC than my Terminator II. Tube rolling adds another dimension SS DAC'S lack. The Gustard R26 is my pick of SS DACs under $5K new in my system. Audio Note makes wonderful DACs according to its acolytes, but I've never owned one so that's hearsay. |
