| Looking for my first DAC Hi whitestix, I have two problems with your idea. The first is that I have the 93 and not the 103. With its age I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket. The second is if I do the update, I’m stuck with it whether I like it or not. Whereas i... | |
| Looking for my first DAC Hi 213runnin,you are right that I don’t want to go over $1000. For my first DAC, but there is a Gungnir Multibit on eBay for $900 that I have an eye on, but are you saying it’s quality is subpar? Or am I misunderstanding you? Thanks.JD | |
| Reasonable but not outragious interconnects roberjerman,How bright are the Audioquest silver ic’s? I might need a new pair of ic’s to go from my preamp to my amps.Not wanting to takeover this thread.thanks.JD | |
| Looking for my first DAC Wouldn’t you know it, an hour and a half after my rant, I got a reply from Schiit telling me either would be good choices. Still want to A/B them but I hate how impersonal their whole setup is.Maybe the walls have ears!LOLJD | |
| Looking for my first DAC So I called Shiit. The answering system says say your name and they would connect you to the proper place. Scratching my head I said Jim and the went it a multi level answering service that led me to email address after email address. Never did ta... | |
| Looking for my first DAC I’ve also been looking on HiFiShark and EBay and while there are hundreds of DAC’s listed, there are no Bifrost MultiBit. And almost no Shiit at all. I guess everyone keeps them.JD | |
| Looking for my first DAC markcdaniel, sfar, big_greg, and all,So far my list is the Liberty, The Wyred4sound D2, The Bifrost and the Pro-ject Box DAC. I’m probably going to start with the Pro-ject Box became it comes from Crutchfield and has the 60 day trial and the Bifro... | |
| Looking for my first DAC sfar,I looked at the 2019 list and saw your Pro-ject Pre Box S2 DAC. Seeing as I’m just starting down the path, what can tell me about how the sound changed in your system? With Crutchfields 60 day trial, I can add it to my list.JD | |
| Looking for my first DAC mahler123, Thanks, the Liberty looks great! I looked at a used Wyred4sound dac2 as well. It has many upgrades as well. I still need a trial period so I can listen before I buy, so the Bifrost Multibit is still very much on the list.So the search ... | |
| Looking for my first DAC serancien,I never gave a thought to a volume control. Why would I need one? And I am only CD's at present and don't have any immediate plans to stream.Thanks.JD | |
| Looking for my first DAC david_ten,I have read many of the forum posts but there are very few about "starter DAC's" In the past I have been able to listen to things and let my ears make the choice. Today, that's very hard to do. In the last year I have only been to one... | |
| Looking for my first DAC Hey MrD,The Acoustat model X's have their own proprietary servo amps. they are hybrid opamp - tube. I look for your post with great interest.Thanks.JD | |
| Looking for my first DAC mzkmxcv,Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be sure to look at them tonight.JD | |

| Looking for my first DAC david_ten & sfar,I agree, the DAC in the 93, was never as good as the 95. I also agree that using the 93 as a spinner is best way to go. But I am no closer to knowing what to buy yet. The Bifrost is $599 new gets good reviews and I can plug ... |
