DSD DAC's - Any recommendations?

Gz3827,

I have some info for you that I'm hoping will calm you down a bit. If you'll notice, the DAC's that the OP talks about are not in the OP, but in the OP's 2nd post. Due to Audiogon's extremely slow post time, my post was made before the OP's 2nd post became visible. So without the DAC's mentioned the 2nd post to use as a reference, I recommended the Ayre. And while not cheap, many consider it to be a good deal for the price it sells at.

Zd, I do appreciate the clarification. I had not thought of the timing issue. I stand corrected.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the recommendations! I've made up my mind, I'm going to invest in a iDSD Nano and see how that goes. Should be here shortly will let you know how I get on :-)

Thanks again guys!

Hello Gz,
I apologize for recommending something above price range. I am not familiar with the DACs he mentioned and was not aware of their price nor what the OP considers too expensive as it was not stated. Even with those DACs as a frame of reference, there is not a mention what price he feels is too expensive. I myself have tried less expensive pieces first before buying something what my budget could fully afford. When the Ayre was mentioned the poster did not address it as being "too expensive". If he had, I would not have posted. The Vega is in that same price range and purchased mine after owning the NAD M51 and trying out several others that were several thousand dollars more and feel like it offers a good value.

Draenor,
Good luck with the iDSD! Can't wait to hear your impressions.

Regards,
Andy
