I have heard a lot of dacs the T+A200 dac- preamp is by far the dac that sounds super natural yes retail over $7k but can get discounts stays with Danny dac even at 2 x the price it’s that good . Read a few reviews then get a demo you won’t miss
the tube sound with this and still get added detail especially low level detail
lost in most dacs we compared with $$ chord Dave, mola mola
and the Dave had the best detail by a fraction but too neutral
mola mola was very good but the. T+A was exceptional and has a excellent true analog preamplifier using precision resistor ladder then gold plated relays
and the entire unit is galvanically isolated.
