Thanks, Ill look into the marantz. Have you actually listened to all the little dacs? Are all the reviewers just shills, in your opinion? Eg Both Michael Lavorgna and Art Dudley really like both the dragonfly and the Halide, do you think theyre just industry shills or dont you read the reviews? Just curious, as unfortunately I have little opportunity to audition before buying and ths rely on reviews and forums for much of my info.
USB DAC or CDP for $200?
Hi All,
Looking to upgrade my digital front end, was thinking of getting the new Dragonfly 1.2 or similar, but was curious whether folks who have made the comparison would recommend the dac or a standalone entry level cep like a marantz or similar. I have a relatively small cd collection, in the 200 range, and prolly half is in my harddrives already, and I have a spare laptop to dedicate to music, so neither of those is really an issue, just value for money. Have at it!
