What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.

The DCS Rossini Apex is a slid step up from the older model yes it is worth the upgrade considering he received $20 k on the 2 year old one it just brings out Everything in the recording ,and does it with amazing naturalness .

I do want to mention cables do matter .he is using Ansuz cables Ethernet switch And D series line conditioner and A $5k switch and cables. And AAvic 580 integrated Amp,and 280 streamer.above my  pay grade , but a revelation to me .

his New Borrensen X series Cryo floorstanders just dissapear into  the room .

Sadly I am just working on upgrades but never to his $$ standards.

@audioman58 i was using Ansuz cables. They make a great cable.  Very clear and clean. I have my infigo cables all through. Even in my streamer power supply connection. Everything matters once you get to a certain level.  Sounds like he has an expensive system. Believe me it doesn’t take much to spend a lot of dough on stuff 

Best DAC I've ever heard is either Denafrips Terminator Plus, both in my system and in a friend's system I know really well. Would love to hear a Lampizator though

@vthokie83 sold my Terminator II for a Lampizator Baltic 4, for me in my system it is more accurate for tone/timber/pitch and more resolution, bigger soundstage. Tube rolling and cable swapping can tweak the sonics substantially, for better or worse of course lol.
