New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui
Currently have an original Schiit yggdrasil. Thinking about taking another step up or maybe two steps! Is the Holo May still good? I know I hear a lot about Denafrips. Then someone was mentioning Mola Mola.
I like the idea of the i2s HDMI connection, I believe this is so I could have my DAC decode SACD versus a player.
Also considering name brands dCS Lina, Meitner MA3, MSB?

Is anyone really winning in this space. Tough for me to demo at home as I'm 2 hours from HiFi Shops and they are kind of limited in the direct to consumer DACs.
Thank you!
@lordmelton your praise of the 005 ultimately pushed me to get it and I thank you. Innuos Zenith MK3 with Phoenix Reclocker and Ethernet Switch, Wireworld Platinum Starlight USB cable. My clipping issue is most likely within the SU-R1000 used as a not preamp preamp, but I'm of the opinion that it's ADC does add something that my previous test preamp (Benchmark HPA4) didn't. My JC1+ aren't being worked too hard, but they're just getting clipping from the SU-R1000 in sure.

You left the best dac out of the bunch out of the conversation . we have tested most everything out there , the T+A 200 dac is exceptional at $7k a True bargain , it will meet or beat any dac $15k or under personally many of us liked it so much even vs the Chord Dave, and Mola Mola dac which far more monies. As we speak I am saving for one . 4 others in our audio-get together already own it. |
@chauncey , get an Aries Cerat DAC, even at entry level Helene, it beats so many DACs at higher pricing. |
@audioman58 , Good Morning! Are your buddies using separate streamers with the T+A 200? What amps? Thanks, Ken |
