I have a mac c2600, been using the internal dac streaming from a bluesound node 2i. Also occassionally listen to the node 2i dac analogue outputs. I thought it couldn't get much better. Then I got the bug and started auditioning some dacs. Chord hugo tt2, base model dcs, and bricasti m3. Settled on the bricasti, much improvement over the mac dac and node 2i. Everything you're looking for. I'll probably sell the nose 2i soon if anybody is interested. Chord and dcs sounded very good but I thought the m3 to my ears was better. The review from 'teajay' from I think 'stereo times' was accurate.
Upgrade DAC recommendation
My systems consist of:
McIntosh 601 Monoblocks
McIntosh C47 Pre Amp
Martin Logan Renaissance 15A Speakers
Node2 DAC
I’m bypassing the DAC in my Node2 and using the DAC in my McIntosh C47 My sound is good but I think I’m missing something and believe the sound can be tremendously better if I upgrade my Node 2 for a better DAC. I’m willing to spend up to $5k on a new DAC
Based on my system components, can you suggest a Better DAC that will take my sound Up to new levels
need lots of help
