I second the Ack dAck recommendation. I have it and have compared it to a few high $ units (Cary, Meridian) and it comes through with shining colors. Terrific analogue-esque sound. The new version is supposed to be even better, but for the $450 or so you will pay for a used one, I think it is a true audio bargain...
What is the best DAC to buy used in the $500 range
I am looking for suggestions on the best sounding used DAC in the range of $500 used. I have checked the archives but didn't find any useful information. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to look for? Thanks for the interest.
