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?

@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.

where does one buy stock in steve huff??? seems like he is the sole opinion leader swaying expensive dac purchases around the globe these days... the monetization potential is just enormous!!!!   🤣😂

be sure to get the indonesian speakers he recommended too while you’re shopping...

sorry, i just couldn’t resist... carry on...

 I only mentioned Steve Huff because I happened to notice his video comparison of the new Weiss to the  T+A. If I'd known about other reviewers who'd made the same comparison, I would've mentioned them as well. I thought this might be of interest to the OP and assumed he's capable of deciding for himself whether Huff's comments were relevant in the context of his DAC search. 

I have no personal investment in advocating for Mr. Huff , John Darko, The Audiophiliac, Zero Fidelity, or any of the rest.

Not sure if anyone mentioned yet, look into Ever Solo Z8 DAC. It appears to be a solidly built and engineered. No direct experience with it but I am using currently using a DAC with Sabre Chip and absolutely love the sound. 

More to discover
