Worlds best DAC

If you care what is beating out the DCS Vivaldi, check the following urls. A single box against the four-box DCS.

Hmm, I could probably make some of the same statements about the $350 used mhdt Constantine DAC I use currently as is made about the Trinity DAC at that link.

Funny how the one guy condemns the craziness of high end audio then claims to have found the holy grail of DACs himself in the next sentence.

The DCS/VTL/VAC/Nordost/Magico system I heard the DCS on surely cost 6 digits, many times more than mine. And in fact it sounded excellent in most all regards in a smaller to moderate sized listening room, one of the best I have heard. The DCS certainly held up its end of the deal.

There are some things my setup does better, and almost surely vice versa. I'd need an extended comparative listening session between the two in the same room to know the differences for sure. As long as that is the case, I am happy with what I have without having to break the bank too badly.

If there is a gap to close between my DAC and the DCS, I think the ticket would be to add a certified high quality clock device that would help assure minimal jitter. There are some of those out there I believe for reasonable cost.

At the moment, probably this, read Piano Tuner's description.

RX8,
What's that Trinity cost anyhoo??
