My favorite dac Best Buy under$12k is still the T+A 200 dac,preamp, which I Donot own . I have decades in audio and mod loudspeakers ,and have had many things upgraded, parts quality I know well, just look compare Apples to Apples in other brands and build quality,many people forget this very important aspect. the harmony dac should have used separate transformers and power supplies, that is for example for the Digital to Analog conversion ,then to try to squeeze transformer taps all in one like a integrated amp.vs separates ,this is why monoblocks have much better isolation and Sonic purity and ,better bass punch for 1 example.

@audioman58 so you have listened to every DAC under 12K to date? Bet not, sure glad I never sought advice from you ever! |
A Farrari is a great car but if it has design,reliabity issues what good is that ? case and dual transformers power supplies and regulators better stability but at a higher build cost . I owned a Audio store for over a decade and saw everything including digital from the mid 80s to today it has come a long way , nothing is perfect ,but some issues are preventable. |
I have heard the Harmony dac several times with Holo springs 3 and Lampi Amber 4 .I can say without reservation the New Denafrips 15 punched way above its $2100:price point it was not only musical but had great dynamics and bass control more so then the dacs heard above for less monies. ,the Lampi Amber4 was the meatiest having tubes but lacked slam and a bit of inner detail , heard with the Iris12 Ddc using I2S gave it a added bit of image depth and detail , we tried the older Hermes ddc on the harmony , Holo springs and Pontus 15 I felt naturalness was only better as-well as every aspect of the music, the new Hermes 12 is much better one guy said That has one but didnot want to take his out of his system which was not cool. I may buy one now, just make sure the pin out on the I2S - hdmi cable matches, wireworld I2S cables seem to be popular and match the pS audio protocol. |
