Micromega MyDAC

I actually downgraded from a M2Tech Young DAC to the MyDac. I would say the performance of the Micromega is about 85% of that of the Young at 1/4 the cost. Prior to the M2Tech I had the Rega Dac and I can honestly say to me the MyDac beats the Rega hands down. Compared to the Young there is a little less bass weight and the sound is a little more compressed. For the price I don't think you can do any better. I also have an Arcam rDac in another system and the Micromega easily bests it in every way.

I have been using the Micromega MyDac for a few months in my high end system which has JM Lab Mezzo Utopia Speakers, YBA Passion Integre amp, and YBA CD 1000. When used with the YBA CD 1000 as a source, the sound of MyDac beats that of the far more expensive but older YBA Dac in all types of music, except for classical. I found the review of The Absolue Sound to be extremely representative of the sound quality of the MyDac....lovely body, soundstage depth, bloom and warmth....above all incredibly musical. Not the most refined sound, but for its money it is unbelievable value....a truly fantastic product.

I have to agree with all the comments above. I was shocked at how good this little plastic DAC is sounding in my system! Other than playing playing FLACs, WAVs, AIFFs, etc. through it, I also stream Spotify through my MacBook Pro to it, and it really sounds musical and enjoyable. I love this little DAC. BTW, the cable that comes with it is absolutely crappy, so I use a Pangea 14SE with the C7 end on the DAC side.

If you don't listen to Classical Music I agree.

Anyone compare the Mydac with the Parasound Z-Dac?
