Check out Audio Skies website. Importer/Distributor Michael Vamos in LA has a new line of DACS and re-clocker unit, Ideon Audio, from $3500 to $30k. They apparently compare with and beat many of the ultra-high end, well known DACs. Michael is a great guy to boot.
Higher End DACs
I am looking for a DAC (potentially streamer&DAC) to be paired in a mcintosh system (c1100/611). Its my first foray into digital streaming and I have no need for a CD player.
I see a lot of love for Esoteric, however, most seems to be around their transports? Are they not as renowned for pure digital streaming and/or standalone DACs? I see DCS (for instance) often referenced for standalone DACs - how does Esoteric compare?

PS--I used to manufacture D/A converters in the 90's. Stereophile, for some reason, just reprinted Jonathan Scull's 1995 review of my DAC in their November 2019 issue. https://www.stereophile.com/content/timbre-technology-tt-1-da-processor Cheers. |
