The Ack dAck is an extremely musical DAC that belies it's low price. Mine transformed my system with an utterly intoxicating sound. CD's sound so good I need to upgrade my vinyl rig to get it to catch up. All the good things you've read on this unit in AA are true. It's the one to beat.
Best DAC for under $500
I'm looking for a DAC with good transparency and dynamics. Is there a DAC with good bang for the buck in this price range that would offer a substantial improvement over a $1,000 CDP?
I've considered EAD DSP 7000 MK III and Audio Alchemy DDI pro but concerned about repairs.
So two other options are dAck $399 and the CI Audio VDA-1 $349
