Chord Dave Replacement

nitewulf,
No, not anymore. I listened to a couple other DACs and decided to keep what I have.

How does the PS Audio DirectStream DAC compare to the Chord DAC?   They both use FPGA for their decoding.  Thanks. 

hgeifman,
I don't know if your question is directed to me or not? If so, I've never directly compared the two; therefore it would be unfair to answer your question.

The other thing I've learned about the Chord Dave is it can sound very different depending on the interconnect and/or power cord used.

The best upgrade for Dave... easy. Tellurium Silver Diamond USB and Chord Blu. It will kick your ass. I was upgrading it in this order and still could not believe every time it sounded better. I still did not found better audio source. It is worth every penny. And yes, you can improve it more by adding nice power source and cable.
