Steve,
Some DAC makers give a 2 week trial. Not the Chinese.
But their DACs resell in seconds so you can have some fun.
Your list is pretty good.
Possible List additions:
-Doge 7 $2.3
-Audio Note 4.1X-$3.0 but a kit.
-Denafrips Venus $3.8
I recently bought the Audio Mirror Tubadour 3 and like it
a lot. Tried a Denafrips Ares 2 first and sold it. I like the
AM sound over the highly defined Denafrips sound.
Very personal as both are very good. I require no sharpness
on the top.
Some great Portland retailers. Do any stock some of DACs?
