I would look into the Rockna Wavedream or Chord Dave. Both are in the $10k range & have volume control.
Best DAC - Preamp Combo $5 to $10K Budget
I'm waiting for the day my Levinson 380S bites the dust like my Chord DAC 64 just did. Both of them are/were 15 to 20 years old with heavy use. Anyway, is there a really reference level DAC - Preamp combination out there for from $5K to $10K? Thanks in advance!
