The A/D/A for the Tact 2.0 is nothing special. It's not competitive with the quality of systems that really benefit from the RCS process. I use an MSB Platinum DAC with the 2.0. The A/D/A in the Tact 2.2 is reputed to be a major advance for their product.

For $4k one can get a lot of DAC, especially on the used market. If I was going to buy a DAC, I'd look at the following: 1 - Audio Note DAC - These are not cheap, but can be found used. I know people that swear by their sound. 2 - Muse Model 192, one of my friends has this DAC, and it is the best DAC he has heard in his system. 3 - You might want to look at a DCS digital piece. For $4k used, you may be able to buy one. 4 - Audiologic 2500 DAC, maybe not cutting edge technology, but if you can find one used, it could be a very good deal. This tube DAC is supposedly great sounding. Personally, my preference is one box players. One box players have come a long ways in the last 20 years. KF |
