Need help with choosing a desktop DAC

[santoshmanivannan]

I currently have an ifi zen stack. I wanted to know if there is benefits of upgrading to a discrete r2r dac?

what is currently the best cheap r2r dac that would be an upgrade to the zen stack in the same price range (30k)?
Thanks in advance!

edit: I’m extremely new to Hifi audio

Stick with your ifi Zen DAC. It's good enough for most intents and purposes. The upgrade over what the ifi ZEN ain't worth the bucks spent unless the rest of the chains pretty damn good.
