| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? I'm in a similar position (budget-wise) and, after much research, recently replaced a 20+ year old Muse Model Two DAC with a Denafrips Ares II for around $750.00. I don't know enough to debate the procs and cons of R2R vs. other designs, but I'v... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? I'm very happy with a set of Audioquest Lapis Hyperlitz 1M cables (RCA) that must be 20+ years old (and I bought them used). I'll probably keep them forever; since the printing has completely faded off the cabling, only I know what they are. Plus... | |

Sounds like it will - even it the replacement is an entry-level version. That's all I needed to know; I can n... | |
| Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?" Thanks for the feedback, guys - much appreciated. I'm just trying to determine the best way to expend my limited funds - not an easy assessment, so be sure.@cal3713 - The AM Tubador III (and IIIse, in particular) caught my eye, but my current bud... |
