I'm a Benchmark believer. Their products keep replacing existing products in my system.. I suppose if one's speakers are harsh or bright, the Benchmark products may sound harsh or bright, but with accurate speakers, you get addicted to faithful, low distortion sound provided by extremely well-engineered Benchmark gear. I wonder if their new HPA4 linestage/headphone hints at a DAC4 companion piece? i.e. 4<-->4.
Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio?
Looking to upgrade my current Rega DAC-R and have been doing some internet searching and these DACs look interesting and fit within my price range:
BENCHMARK - DAC3 B - $1700
MYTEK DIGITAL Mytek - Liberty DAC - $1000
Audio Mirror - TUBADOUR III DAC - $1200
Holo Audio – Spring DAC 2/3 - $1900-2700
Mojo Audio - Mystique v2 SE DAC - $2500
The other option is to just stick with the Rega DAC-R
I play CDs only and would like to maximize that format. Anyone have experience with these DACs? I have no opportunity to audition them where I live.
Which DAC would provide the most significant upgrade from the Rega? The Rega frames the music well and sounds good with almost every disc I throw at it. I’m not shooting for different and I don’t want something that will limit what's enjoyable (CDs or types of music).
