Jeff Rowland Aeries DAC comparison to current DACs


This dac came out almost 15 years ago, technology has advanced since then. Does this dac still have value in today’s market of high end brands such as playback design mp6, Meitner ma3, etc

Yessir. Some DACs "open" horizons (PRAT) comparitively.

Typically the end listener is the only one that can decide what is "best" for them. 

Bingo.

This depends how much you are paying for it ,vs todays dacs 

today they are far more advanced in digital , sure you can still get a very respectable dac ,like the Levinson 31 dac ,which was a classic or Accuphase 78 dac ,  you will be limited on inputs. The price  you can get it for.

I use the Pontus 12 th dac as a verygood not expensive dac in the $2k range 

to get much better you need to spend around  $5k on up to take a huge step up up across the board.
