I would look at an FPGA DAC like the Chord Hugo TT2 or a DAVE. My personal preference and would say they are better than anything I have heard other than Esoteric or dCS stacks. I became a Chord dealer I like them so much.
DAC/Pre-Amp Upgrade, R2R or Delta Sigma?
I am looking for a DAC/Pre-Amp upgrade. I have owned a Naim V1 DAC and I am currently playing from a NUC with a North Star Fluxio DAC. The Naim V1 was very upfront, lots of prat but not very well organised. The North Star was a clear upgrade. Also a Burr Brown DAC, but with a very 3 dimensional sound with lots of detail and zero listening fatigue.
Sonnet Morpheus is on my current short list (R2R), and also Linn Selekt . What is the global difference in sound signature of R2R vs Delta Sigma? Suggestions appreciated!
