I'm in a similar place as you.. very much liking the sound of my system but still considering moves to make for hearing more into the music. I just ordered one of Benjamin's new Mojo Audio dacs after being very impressed with his power cables and interconnects. My Yamamoto amp is a keeper. My Sonist Concerto 3 loudspeakers continue to readily reveal component and cable changes. No complaints with an ANK 4.1x dac, however, the things I've read about the Mojo dacs have peaked my curiosity. I listen mostly to jazz.
*DAC
I am down to the last piece of the puzzle. I am very happy with the sound of my system at this point, so I’m not sure if the DAC needs to be improved on. What I am looking for is to hear those background subtleties in the music a little more pronounced. The strum of a guitar, the stroke of the piano keys, the clicks, ticks & tingles that accompany the music. I do here that now, I just wondered if there is a way to elaborate on those background sounds (details) a bit more.
Is it the DAC that will make this happen? If it is, they say my Gustard R26 is as good as a $5K DAC, how far over that $5K do you think I have to go?
Thank you for your help and suggestions and the best to you all over the holiday season and beyond!
PS: I listen mostly to Jazz

@nrthomas2 sounds interesting but there's no links to anything on his website? https://benjaminaudio.com/?fbclid=IwAR3_wKJOFsp323YQ1c5N9-S8JjFsQ51Ox29g8RWG56TZwBsNvbn-dQB3GjI @geleary123 thanks for the heads up on Bel Canto, sorry for your troubles. |
@nrthomas2 OK, got it. His stuff ain't cheap! Let me know how it sounds compared to what ya got. Thanks. |
No. Not cheap:) But, having been in this hobby for many years I think his prices are more than reasonable. It is easy to make lateral moves in any given price range. I'm not interested in lateral moves these days. I love the sound of my ANK dac and realize that to get more music (via a dac change) I will likely need to spend at least 5k. Given my current system this seems like rational decision. I'll let you know how things go. |
