A new dac?
Guys, help me out here.
My dac which I've been using for a number of years now is a Mytek Stereo192 DSD.
Came out in 2013, I think and was $1600 retail.
Still think it sounds good, but I've nothing to compare it to.
My question: If you are familiar with this dac or similar, what would I have to spend minimum to better it, and what do you think will better it?
I enthusiastically await the responses of the cognoscenti. (Wanted to use that word in a sentence since I read it in Calvin and Hobbes!)
Worth exploring whether you prefer Delta Sigma chips or R 2-R ladders sonically. I like the analog sound of the R 2-R. With Denafrips having cut out their middle man, all of their DACs are great values now. https://www.denafrips.com/product-page/denafrips-ares-15th-r-2r-dac |
Dena no Denoooooo....now is the time to save the cash for your forever house, dedicated room and better resolving speakers. Get this FIIO K13 R2R for 320 dollars to quench your R2R desires.. (Denafrips $1200 - $320 = $880 in savings). Moreover, you get a headphone amp and a 10 band peq with the FIIO as well, unlike the Denagips 1 trick r2r pony. https://apos.audio/products/fiio-k13-r2r-desktop-dac-amp?sca_ref=1448954.julYPU81dF
Next, get these 2 subs for $350 dollars on sale and put them on each sidewall a few ft behind your seat (play more with placement). https://verafiaudiollc.com/products/caldera-10-duality That left you with $1000 - ($320 + $350) = $330 to buy some cds for your audiolab cd twister or buy a window for your forever house.
