Yes, I do not need MQA or DSD. I2s is not needed too.
I prefer not to combine the DAC and preamp--so I'm not tied to each in one.
LTA looks to have great service. That's great to hear firsthand too.
Have you heard LTA Aero, Lab12 Reference, Denafrips Pontus 15th?
I'm looking at these DACs. I recognize that ultimately I'm gonna have to follow my ears and hear them, but I'm wondering if anyone has heard more than 1 of them and had any insights on comparison and contrast, value, build, etc.
Thank you!

Using a Lab 12 Dac 1 Reference for 2 years the new LTA Aero Dac was at the top of my upgrade list. After doing some research and following the “Six DAC Comparison” thread’s reviews I decided to pick up a used Mojo Mystique Evo B4B 21 Dac thinking it was low risk at $3000 (Msrp $9000+). I really liked the Lab 12 Tube DAC but this DAC is at another level. I am partial to tubes and the Mojo has that life-like live concert natural sound like tubes. Mojo DACs are excellent and I would consider adding them to your list. |
Interesting @tksteingraber . I will check it out nonetheless now.
