Thanks everyone for the recommendations so far. I have a couple of follow up questions regarding two of the recommendations. Ballan, I have not heard Naim gear. How would describe the Naim sound? 4est, would you describe the Weiss Dac2 as leaning more towards extreme detail and an analytical approach? I know it costs much more than the Paradesea. But, I'm curious to know, besides price point, what makes it overwhelmingly superior? Thanks.
Dac recommendations for computer audio
I have recently made the decision to retire my Cal Audio Labs Alpha and Delta combo. I have purchased a new version of the Mac Mini to go Into my system that consists of Salk Sound HT2-TL speakers, an Audio Mirror T-61 preamp, and a Counterpoint NP100 hybrid amp. Now, I need to add a high performing Dac that will deliver an analog-like and organic presentation. The ability to deliver killer midrange with female vocals, a large soundstage and clearly defined instrument separation are must-haves. I am very new to the computer audio world and my head is spinning from trying to keep up with available Dacs in the market. This will be my only source, so I want to get it right. I have an affinity for tubes, but I will keep an open mind and consider SS Dacs that meet these qualifications. My budget is 3k and under. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
