+1@audiosaurusrex, that's a tough one. I also use the RME ADI2 Dac Fs with Teddy Pardo PS. It was my this is what I'm looking for moment. I tried a few dacs ranging from 1k to 5k and this has been the best. Audio mirror, SW1X Dac, Aurender, Chord TT2, too name a few. The RME for about 1100$ beats them all in my system. Teddy Pardo PS about 400$ if I remember. Using a Kimber Kables D60 digital coax between streamer and Dac.
What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”?
As the title suggests, what was your overall system and DAC at the point where you bought only a new DAC and said “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”?
I’m a novice and so many people talk about improvements from new equipment as if they were only listening to varying degrees of static until they bought more and more new equipment which added up to them finally being presented with music. It’s like Salome and the seven veils. But when does the last veil get peeled away?
So what system did you have and what DAC did you swap in that made you say “DAMN!!!!”?
I guess I’m looking for night and day differences, not gradual progressions……
