M2Tech Young Dac vs Musical Fidelity V-90 Dac

Anyone? :)

Isn't that special?

Question was a bit specific, I am open to any dac advices that can make a noticeable difference under 800 dollars.

I tried a Matrix dac which reduced the background noise explicitly and I liked it, but missing in smt. music overall..

I need good separation, transparency and most importantly lowered background noise.

I heard the M2tech Young at a audio dealer in central, Ma. Was not too impressed and it looked fugly to boot.  That DAC is at least 10-12 years old. There are plenty of newer DAC’s that can be bought used for pennies on the dollar.  Why buy something that is so old?

You're right, I need to focus on newer dacs, DSD function will be a nice investment. any thoughts on Matrix Mini i-Pro 2, topping dx7/d90, smsl  su-8/su-9  or alternatives?
