Price Point ???

Rs 10,000

or

Rs 1,00,000

or

Rs 10,00,000

or ...

Add to price point, do you want to limit to locally available or can you buy from the US or elsewhere and have it brought by someone?

Far better options if you can do the latter.

I haven't heard one, but by the hype/vibe/review/comment this is one of the best out there - MSB Analog DAC (oxymoron!)

See if that suits you!

To open ended a question for viable suggestions.
As others mentioned budget, intended use, source, local/abroad etc are certain parameters that have to be defined first.

If your budget is around a lakh, then the Chord 2Qute is a brilliant piece of equipment if just a DAC is what you need without the extra features of a pre-amp and headphone amp...else for all extra features, the Chord Hugo is equally good but more expensive...

That Audio-gd is quite nice. To buy new, dac magic plus, dragonfly 1.2, can't think of any others below 30k you get in India.

If from abroad, meridian director, arcam Irdac, and many more.. Can't say unless you share more info

wholeheartedly agree to this recommendation. I say this as a former Audio GD DAC owner - very few DACs can touch it at the price point.

There is an Audio-gd on sale here in the forum. Look in the 'For sale' section, to boot it is in Kolkata. In your budget too, hear it, and then carry it home!

 

[Asok]

Sold out already. This month end going to china. will carry.


Thanks.

 

[shibashis]

That is great. Where in China?

arcam rdac (wireless optional) / irdac for around 40k or less is good
