WHERE ARE THE BIG DAC ???




For many months still searching for the big one ! (tube dac)
It seem that the tendancy is Korean, Chineese, Taiwanese fairly unknown plug and play cheap dac that promise you the sonic paradise before you die ....
roccl007
Just to clarify i am talking about DAC in the 5K to 20 K that usualy appear on the used market at 1/2 price...
Perhaps we are still off season (summer time)
not tube but what i would get if i was in the market:

theta generation VIII 2

my ears have not heard better
I doubt if you would consider it, but the Exemplar XD-1 DAC in its most recent form is flatout unbelievable. I have not heard anything that approaches it regardless of price, and it cost $2500.
