Which DAC makers let you do in home trial?
Digital Amplifier Company (DAC) offers a 30 day trial/return policy for products. The DAC DAC 2 is fantastic sounding, very close to nos sound with exceptional imaging and clean extended bass. Give them a shot well worth the try. https://www.cherryamp.com/dac-dac-d-to-a-convertor |
@cal3713 I definitely will post once the speakers are chosen. It will help to get more specific advice from those who’ve owned similar combinations with or without my particular my "ears". @zigggi I’m tempted by the PS Audio SGDC, although I’m sort of inclining toward tubes at the moment, Still, their trial is easy and generous about shipping. @rodge827 27 Nice looking company and website. Tube and non tube options for less that $1k. In home trial. Not sure how they compare to other DACS but once amps and speakers are in place this might be THE one to try out. Thanks to all! |
The Digital Amplifier Company DAC doesn't have a tube option. It's called Tube Like, the DAC TL. It distorts similar to tubes. How can this thing sound so wonderful, but measure so-so?". Well, after taking a better look, we discovered that the distortion characteristics of our shortest-path circuit were similar to that of tube (a.k.a. valve) |
I bought my RME ADI-2 DAC FS from Musicians Friend. They have a 45 day return policy. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/consumer-electronics/rme-adi-2-dac-fs-2-channel-da-converter |
