Best DAC to match CEC drive model TL 1

I have heard the combination of the CEC TL 1 with both the Entec Number Cruncher 2.1 as well as the Audiomeca Enkianthus and both combinations were marvelous.

If you are interested in the Number Cruncher, you can contact an Audiogon user named MES who may have one for sale. If you have no luck, contact Bob Crump at CTC Builders and maybe he could help you find one.

Good Luck...

You can't beat the Kora tube dac for $1500.It is an amazing value.

I would encourage you to look into the Audio Logic 2400. It has a tube output stage and is one of the finest dac's on the market. Jerry Ozment the designer is very helpful and service oriented.

It might be just above your price range, but the Dodson DA-217 Mk IID is an outstanding match with the CEC TL-1.

I agree with Glide 3, the Audio Logic works especially well with the more analog-sounding transports like the CEC and the Forsell. And Jerry Ozment is extremely knowledgable and helpful. His products strike the right balance between detail and musicality, and the 2400 is a relative bargain, especially for the quality offered.
