Any Hegel H390 owners using Hegel D50 DAC?

Having tried two well-regarded r2r DACs with disappointing results, I’m now wondering whether it might make sense to demo the D50, which, for some reason, rarely gets mentioned here.

If you want to suggest alternatives,  please be aware that 1) I only buy what can be auditioned at home and returned and 2) my budget is 6K. 

Thanks!

You can get a lot of DAC for $6k.  Am a huge fan of the Goldnote DS10 Evo, with optional power supply.  I think that comes i. under budget.  I’ve compared that to a DCS Bartok and preferred the Goldnote.

Thanks. Who sells this with a return option?

No idea.  You should look for local dealer.  You can also call HiFi Heaven or someplace else that carries the brand.

Also The Cable Company in New Hope, Pa. Forgot they carried brand. Am big fan of this dealer.  Excellent service.
