| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To blisshifi: Thanks so much. Best breakdown I've been able to get! Even though I haven't directly experienced this dac, I have experienced other equally costly ones that were mentioned in this now-long thread that I just didn't feel had a soul... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To blisshifi: I know you have a very high-end T+A Dac system. My question: have you spent any time listening to the DAC200? I spoke with Elliot from T&A NA and he has been very helpful. He also directed me to the very good review recently... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To blisshifi and tvad: Thanks to you both for good thoughts and opinions based on your experiences. It sort of goes down to solid state or tube. In my own reduction to some of the ones left on my list, I've narrowed down to a Bricasti, the T+A ... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Good answer and good point. Yes, if I was exclusively doing what the speaker designer recommends, I wouldn't have created this whole discussion. I do respect his opinion as it jibes with many others and has won best of show in some setups. But I... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 The 10 Audio review was positive until he switched to upsampling. Many of us leave our DACs in NOS anyway. It sounds like this unit does get the job done. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 From what I could find, there are some positive reviews as well as negative and also some mixed ones. It might improve someone's DAC need if they are moving up from a < $1K level DAC. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 jon2020 Thanks for the info about the Audio-GD R7HE Mk2. I cannot find the link to a Stereophile review. Could you put a link up for us? Thanks. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Update: Denafrips has just released a new version of their flagship "Terminator Plus 12th". It is supposed to have some good improvements: "Optimized Critical Circuitry" "Further reduces noise floor." "Greater Tonal Density" "Ultra High Resolu... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To rja: Yes, it is getting good reviews. To: tvad: I spoke to Lampizator today and was given some interesting information. First, the Amber 4 is a solid upgrade from the Amber 3. Second, the Baltic 3 is in the middle of an important upgrade... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To Tvad: I would agree with you. In all the reviews and conversations I've had with owners and sellers, the Lampi B3 is not described with those terms. As DACs have evolved in the past few years, the Amber 3 has been profiled as slightly warmish... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To nquery: Thanks for your comparison of Halo May and Lampizator B3. They are both on my short list and those with systems similar to mine (very important) have been encouraging the B3. The only other DACs that have matched them have been units a... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To jeremyjava: moving song, old Leon. Saw him sing it live just before he died. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To jeremyjava: Beautiful testimony and completely relatable. The May is on my short list (now down to about 4-5). Thanks for adding this. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To chopandchange: You mentioned the Elite Plixir Conditioner. Yes, I actually have a similar line conditioner but made by Denafrips. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To rsf507: Of course I’ve “listened to” the DAC suggestions, and responded to most. No, I haven’t made a final decision. I can honestly say that as the discussion has grown, it’s helped clarify many of the DACs I will not have on a short list. I... |
