Dated but still A rated DACs


Looking to purchase a great sounding used DAC , unless I can obtain equal quality on a new one. Your thoughts?

I'd try a used Metrum Hex DAC or used Bel Canto DAC 3.7 or 3.5 but only the VB models with the Virtual Battery Supply.  Both have gotten reviews that put them on the level of much more expensive DACs.  I had the DAC3 VB in my system for a bit, and it was extremely good.  

Just FYI, Mytek seems to have some pretty significant growing pains.  Sounds like they make a great product, but if they can't invest in the business enough to respond to customers and deliver product you have to consider if this is a good investment down the road.  Don't get me wrong, I'm VERY much rooting for them.  But the audio trash heap is littered with great products that had no real long-term business plan or financing, which ultimately led to their failure.  I'd echo my previous recommendations for Bel Canto or Metrum.  Again, best of luck.
