Chip technology has come a long way in the last 20 years. If you have a high end audio dealer close by simply listen to your three favorite CD tracks you know by heart on your system and then go listen to them again through a moderately priced DAC at the dealer. You will know the answer immediately is my prediction.
Replace my DAC or not?
Hi folks--
Be kind to me, I've been out of the digital loop much too long. I have recently started up listening again after I moved to my new home. I now have space for listening my set up. So, here's my question: I am considering a new CD Transport (PS Audio or MCT450), but now have thought about whether my DAC needs an upgrade, too. My DAC is a dCS Delius, which I bought new almost 20 years ago. Nothing wrong with it, just don't know if I am listening to a Dinosaur compared with what is out there. I would very much want to limit my upgrade to a new Transport only and not have to shell out $6k or more for a new Transport.
Thank you for listening.
