Jim you might want to try a Scott Nixon dac. I hear good things about it. A guy on here said he heard both the SN dac and Paradisea and like the SN dac better. I didn't listen to him and bought the Paradisea. I was disappointed with it. Not saying it is bad but just was not my cup of tea.
Looking for a Solidly good inexpensive DAC
this notion likely gets beaten to death, BUT
I'm thinking about a DAC for use with some mid fi components, and my PC so as to incorporate some greater ease and variety.
Because my system is all holow state, I am also figuring it needs to be SS. Yes? No?
A good sounding overachiever that won't break the bank will likely do fine. something in the $300 - $600 range. Give or take a bit... no pun intended.
Any experience or thoughts or any slam dunk DAC ideas would be appreciated tremendously.
Thanks.
