Since you mentioned that you may upgrade your streamer I should share this. I was auditioning streamers to put upstream of my Holo May DAC. I narrowed the search to Aurender and Innuos. They were both excellent in their own ways but what came out of the May DAC was a VERY different sound signature between the two streamers. My experience was that the streamer will affect the sound signature of the DAC much more than one might think! Good luck and cheers.
Looking for a new DAC
Looking for dac recommendations
I have been slowly doing major upgrades to my system and now it’s time for a better dac.
Current system
Modwright KWH 225i integrated
Magnepan 3.7i speakers
Rotel RCD-1572 cd player
Will not be upgrading these anytime soon
Need upgrading
Schiit Modius dac
WiiM Ultra streamer (considering the Aurender N200)
Looking for a dac that will complement the Modwright and Magnepans.
Below is a few suggestions I have received but not sure how they will sound with my system.
T+A DAC 200
Gold Note DS-10 EVO
Laiv Harmony
Weiss DAC 204

@vthokie83 Good point. I just read someone here got the new Laiv DDC and found it to make a significant improvement with his T2 that I believe also uses an OCXO clock although not sure it’s as good as those used in the 15th so something to explore. I also saw someone recently replaced their Harmony DAC with the LTA Aero DAC that he much preferred, and since I forgot to mention the LTA earlier I just wanted to circle back with that as another potential option. FWIW. |
