I haven't had a chance to hear it, but Border Patrol has had some positive reviews lately; not sure if you could find one used though. Used Audio Note dacs come up from time to time around that price but may lack usb input.
Tube DAC for Croft 25/7 and Harbeth 30.1??
I recently bought a pair of 30.1 together with the Croft 25/7 combo equipped with NOS Tesla e83cc valves. I play only digital and using a Rega DAC. I'm very pleased with the sound coming out of these boxes. Feels more alive, with more separation, 3D than I ever had the chance to hear before.
However I'm getting very tempted to get more of that feeling by upgrading the Rega-DAC to a good valve DAC. I rather spend it on a used so I can get the most for my money. My budget is about £1000. What do you recommend?
