Recommend a DAC for my system....please.

Hard for me to audition because I don't know where to start. I pretty much have the HT area covered, now I need a NICE musical dac somewhere around the $3k area. New or used. I was thinking about the Levinson 36/36s.
My listening taste depends on my mood, mostly jazz, bossa nova, pop, etc... but NO rap.
It'd be great if I can be satisfied with this dac for a long, long time. Any thoughts????

Much appreciated...

Sonic Frontier Processor 3, should be a good choice for your "moody" music taste.

Otherwise, try cheaper model, SFD2MKII, or Audio Synthesis DAX2SE.

ML will be a wrong choice. Go for an Audio Note 3.1x.

I would suggest a Muse Model Two Plus.

You can get a P1A/P3A w/Monolithic sound PS for really good prices right now. If you can find one with the Modwright Mods, this is a really nice unit.

Try finding a Chord 64DAC and a CEC TL2X transport. Warmth, speed, bass-all the right stuff in spades. Very musical. Use good quality power cords and digital cable, preferably use XLR.
