I followed the advice of an audio buddy on AudioKarma.org, and got an SMSL C-100 (basically the SU-1 w/remote). I had a MUSES02 opamp installed in place of the OPA-1612, and added a linear regulated power supply. It has vastly improved separation and depth, and loses the digital glare. Cost was < $250 all in.
Chinese DAC's
I have been looking at several DAC's trying to decide which one to put in my system. Some of those DAC's I'm looking at are built and designed in China. Without getting political I don't think trade with China will ever be the same. I hope that these engineers are able to get there products to market. It would sure be a waste of talent.

I learned long ago when I could still hear well that electronics account for a small part of one’s sound compared to transducers and room acoustics. But like most of us I like nice things, so I have gone through many amps, preamps, CD players, etc. DACs seem like a problem solved. My SMSL DO200Pro ($400) does me fine. Even with tariffs it will still be a bargain. |
Wise post! I dont need to write anything more...

@yoyoyaya that is correct. Also, since the tariffs apply when landed and country that has a 90 day delay, must have goods on the water by the middle to end of May to get them through customs before July 4. One of our customers (we are a manufacturer) wanted us to eat the tariffs, we declined their kind offer. |
