I also have the same with no issues. I'm simply following as I'd like to upgrade as well.

Upgrade DAC from AMR DP777SE
I have been using an AMR DP-777SE DAC which is now having intermittent reliability issues. I'm considering replacing/upgrading to either a
1) Chord Dave
2) PS Audio Direct Stream or
3) APL DSD ($$)
I need to buy used, and I'm comfortable with that. My hopes are for reliability, deeper soundstaging, timbre distinctions (ie violin & viola) and, most importantly, emotional engagement. I'm now 70, so my hearing ain't what it used to be.
I realize that responders are expressing their opinions, and my system synergy & sound room acoustics impact everything. I'm only looking for a DAC. I do hope to hear from you. Thanks from Olympia, WA USA
Current second system: flac & hi rez files→ APL DP-777SE→ Pass Labs XP20→ Pass Labs XA100.5's→ Ridge Street Audio Design Sason speakers. Cabling is all Jena Labs.

It used an R2R Multibit dac UDA1305AT (said to be the son of the famous TDA1541), which your now used to R2R sound, anything else "could" disappoint. I think you should stick to R2R and just get a better one. Like the Denafrips, Mojo or Holo or even MSB if you can afford them. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/holo-audio-may-dac https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/any-thoughts-on-denafrips-terminator-plus https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/msb-dacs-why-not-alot-of-postings https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/mojo-audio-mystique-evo Cheers George |
