FWIW, I had Accoustat 2+2s with both interface As and OTlL amps. I now have a Oppo 105 that I use as a transport though it can function as a direct volume control/dac to amp. I upgraded the 105 with an aftermarket Linear Power supply.. still not satisfied with the sound, I bought Audio Alchemy Dac/Pre + outboard PS 5 power supply (outstanding) but both are for sale (see US AudioMart or Audio Asylum adv that would work great, as I changed to PS Audio Stellar dac/pre and M700 amps
Looking for my first DAC
I have mostly equipment from the eighties with the exception of an OPPO BDP-93. My Preamp is an ARC SP9-MKII and it's feeding some Acoustat model X's. I'm leaning toward a Schiit Bifrost Multibit Gen 5, with their 15 day trial period, so I can at listen to it and return if I don't like it. I have no way of listening to anything without a long drive and most probably a hotel stay, so I'm looking for your vast experience on the DAC's. Price range under $1000.
