Best DAC’S $5k to $15k

Re the Ayre QX- 5 Twenty: I owed and enjoyed this unit for a few years and

enjoyed it. My Mojo Audio DAC left the Ayre in the dust.

Bricasti Design by a country mile. Nobody’s build quality comes remotely close to Bricasti. Their amps are also killer.

@adasdad I’ve decided to keep TT2/ Mscaler. Dave would be the upgrade, but I’ve splurged on cables Shunyata Sigma USB from Auralic G2.2 to Mscaler. Then dual Shunyata BNC Sigma V.2 s/pidif to TT2.

@axeis1 there is something else you could investigate and do before changing out your DAC also, If you weren't aware of this already: PGGB I have posts by some with Dave who love it, which is the DAC this software was written for; I'm sure it would appeal to those with TT2 also. 

@axeis1, good choice on keeping the TT2 with the m scaler. IMO they go together like peas and carrots.
Holy cow Batman! I thought I’d spent a lot on BNC cables. 😃 I’ve never demoed any Shunyata interconnects, but they are highly recommended by those who use them from what I’ve read.
One thing to keep in mind though, I found that by separating the m scaler from my TT2 by a least a couple of feet, because of how much RFI the m scaler generates, really made a huge difference as it helps with having a dead quiet and inky black sonic floor.
