I could not disagree more with wireless200's statement that the bass sound is more related to the power amp than the dac. I have a PS audio DL III a Lite Audio DAC60 and a MHDT paradisea+. The DAC60 has noticeably more bass, the Paradisea+ sounds the most analog like but is lacking in bass and dynamics compared to the others and finally the DLIII I would say is the most balanced sounding of the three units. If I had to pick one, I would keep the Paradisea+, as it's sound is the most natural and it is very tuneable via different op amps and tubes, but the bass king is the DAC60, which also had great mids but I find the highs a little grating in my system. YMMV
Dac with very good tonefull bass?
At the moment I am playing with the Dacmagic wich I think is a very nice dac, but its time to upgrade.
I am looking for something with allot better bass then the Dacmagic.
My dealer has the following dacs that I know of that should be a good upgrade to the Dacmagic:
- Ps Audio digital link III
- Bel canto dac 3
- Bryston bda-1
Having had the Musical Fidelity a5 cd player at home, I could not get enough from the great bass. I have moved to computer audio so a cd player is not an option anymore, but if anything I aim for bass like that again.
I am open for other suggestions.
