Best DAC’S $5k to $15k

@axeis1 there is something else you could investigate and do before changing out your DAC also, If you weren't aware of this already: PGGB I have posts by some with Dave who love it, which is the DAC this software was written for; I'm sure it would appeal to those with TT2 also. 

@axeis1, good choice on keeping the TT2 with the m scaler. IMO they go together like peas and carrots.
Holy cow Batman! I thought I’d spent a lot on BNC cables. 😃 I’ve never demoed any Shunyata interconnects, but they are highly recommended by those who use them from what I’ve read.
One thing to keep in mind though, I found that by separating the m scaler from my TT2 by a least a couple of feet, because of how much RFI the m scaler generates, really made a huge difference as it helps with having a dead quiet and inky black sonic floor. 

I had friends attend the Munich Show Last year, with a keen interest in discovering DAC's that would be worthwhile learning more about.

Their time at the event was much enjoyed, but little was discovered through being demo'd DAC's that got them inspired to learn more.

Speakers, that was a Different experience, there was plenty of discoveries made that was able to hold their interest. Some even though expensive, were quite cheap as a comparison to other Brands Products. 

There are plenty of attendees to this event, which my description is a Third Party Interpretation of Two Attendees only.
