Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts?


Soekris 2541                $1.1

Doge 7                         $1.2

Mhdt Pagoda               $1.4

Denafrips Pontus         $1.8

Audio Mirror SE           $2.5

Holo Audio Spring 2    $2.7

Audio Note 4.1 Kit       $3.6

Lampizator Amber 3    $3.8

Anyone who can speak from experience  about comparisons
between any two these?

I like the use of a tube and I like the R2R style of build.

Prefer to stay under $2.5 but might be swayed.

Thanks in advance for sharing.

(Some of these prices are certainly not correct)

+1 georgehifi. I like a non-tubed dac (chord) with a tubed pre..The sound is sublime. The chord into  my cj is outstanding. Sorry I can’t answer about any of the dacs on your list. 
I cant comment on the equipment on your list, but can offer an opinion on Wyred 4 Sound Dac, on my second one as i upgraded From the original to the DAC-2v2SE . They are definitively worth a look  with balanced outputs and up gradable  but no tubes in circuit. I preferred this one over my sim audio dac

Depends on the rest of your equipment. I found that tubed DACs made little difference to my tubed pre and power set up. I tried Denafrips Pontus and MHDT Orchid and Pagoda before settling for a Pure Audio Lotus 5 , which is a delta sigma DAC. It added a little bit of detail to the tube sound. 
I have the wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac. It is one of the most analog and natural sounding dacs I've heard. The reviewer said the same thing and I totally agree.
