DAC suggestions?


Hello!

I’m looking for a new DAC suggestion for my 2.1 office room set up. The room is 12x11 ft with a 10 ft ceiling.  The EverSolo DMP-A8 seems interesting.  Currently, I have the following:

Rotel CD14 (Water 1m RCA cable)

Michi X3 (Audioquest Thunder 2m Power cable)

Rel T/9X (Rocket 88 3m Rel Sub cable)

Sonus Faber Sonetto V Walnut (William Tell Zero 12ft Speaker cable)

iMac, using Roon and Tidal (USB B 1.5m Carbon cable)

I listen to jazz and RnB mostly and prefer a warmer sound. I’m happy with my current setup but feel adding a DAC and digital streamer would be nice versus going through my iMac.  Thank you so much for your time.

g2 , Im happy you are bug free.  My suggestion to any Eversolo user is to turn Auto Update Off and visit their site when there is a FW release. Let the community vet the new firmware before updating.   You are literally on your own , you and the other members of the Eversolo forum.  Its the only place for help which is sad because the hardware is pretty good.   

OP. I would look at Innuos at your price point.  

To OP. .listen to a few DACs , so many good ones out there.   You can buy a nice pair at your budget. 

Wait until August for the new Schitt Byggi. It is supposed to be their best ever DAC, and I owned the LIM, MIB, and the latest OG. Still have the MIB and OG. I am going to convert the MIB to the Byggi. 

These guys sell direct to consumer so a big savings there. The DAC designer is one of the original gangsters for DACs. See the thread about the Byggi.
