Hi All,
I am starting a new thread for DAC recommendations, I have gone through all the threads related to DAC, but wanted to hear from the members about what I have shortlisted.
What I currently have: I use the following source combinations:
(PS3/PioneerDVDP)-HDMI-Onkyo AVR(R590) Headphone Out - Norge Pre - Norge Power - Focal Chorus 706V
What I want: I want a DAC within 15K, it should be detailed across frequency range, should not sound bright, should be good for longer listening periods, though I will not be able to define the term but it should be "Musical"
Why I need a DAC : I recently got a chance to try Beresford Caiman in my audio chain, and I really enjoyed the presence of Caiman in the chain. It is has become difficult now to appreciate my system without a DAC.
What I have shortlisted:
1. Beresford Caiman Gatorized (Beresford TC-7520SEG Caiman)
2. Audio-Gd NFB-3.1 (?????)
3. Full Balanced kit from Spencer (Store | FET Audio)
4. Open to suggestions
If any FM owns or has heard the DAC's mentioned above, please share your feedback and impression about them.
Thanks,
sann
