New DACs High End Munich 2023

I am now searching for a new DAC to replace my Oppo UDP-205 and High End Munich 2023 was the event I was waiting for to hear about new announcements.

I know that Auralic and Total DAC have introduced new DACs and Primare has new modules. Anyone hear any other DACs being released in the next 2-3 months?

Good to know @jayctoy . Thanks!

 

@anzaanimalclinic , Thank You for the feedback on the Terminator Plus and the configs that you use. Very interesting, that the I2S now sounds flat compared to the USB. I have generally heard that I2S sounds better. Anyway, in my case, it would be USB.

FYI. Steve Huff is now declaring the new Weiss beats the T+A.

You might want to check it out before spending considerably more on the T+A.

I've had an Aqua La Voce for about 10 years, with no compelling reason to replace it. I don't understand why it doesn't garner more attention, here but I digress.

S.Huff has a video up re: the new Weiss

I wish you good luck in your search

@stuartk,

Are you talking about the video review he did? Where does he mention that? People have asked him about it in the comments section. But he has not responded.

I had listened to Senheiser HD 800s headphone using Starkrimson Pecanpi+.

HD 800s is not easy headphone to drive due to high impedance.

But I could enjoy Jennifer Warnes "Rock me gently" which give plenty of bass.

After warming it up more than 48 hours, Pecanpi+ sounds more refined which exceeds my expectation.

I have yet to test its streaming function.

But as just standalone Dac and pre, it may be worth more than its humble price.of 900$

I plan to start "Best value Dac made in US" thread after further listening.
