Holographic DAC With Air And Decay
Like the title says what’s your vote for favorite Dac when it comes air, decay and three dimensional soundstage? Looking at 3k or less used. I tend to prefer R2R and, or tubes. I suppose I'm open to other options as long as it sounds smooth and refined. As always I look forward to all your input, thanks!

I agree with @fsonicsmith1 and am going to add an observation. Yes, holography, air, and decay are in or absent from the recordings and should not originate or be manipulated by the dac. In my experience you want to prioritize resolution over analog like musicality. I would look for a well implemented Sabre dac, like the Musetec 005, 006, or Gustard X30, which are musical and have amazing resolution, not an R2R dac. |
++++++1 Denafrips Pontus II (latest edition). I have had mine for a few years, and it is still one of the most musical and enjoyable DACs I've ever heard.....and for the $2,000 cost, is a ridiculous deal. I run mine out of a Denafrips Iris DDC (another great deal) via I2S, which takes the whole game up another notch.....you'll notice a bunch of us use the Denafrips Pontus/DDC combo Yes there are better DACS, and yes I will upgrade the Pontus at some point, but that will be with a DAC 3 to 5 times the cost. |
