DAC's Streamer and Preamps
I have been searching for a DAC for a while now. In the meantime I have been using a laptop plugged into my preamp until I decide on the DAC I want. I definitely know this isn't optimal. In my search I have been looking at individual DAC's, DAC's with preamps or volume control, DAC's with streamers built in and sometimes all three. I wanted to throw it out there and find out what people's preference is? I know previously having everything separate was the best way to go but because of technology things has changed a bit. What are your thoughts?

@elliottbnewcombjr Thank you for that info. I wish I would have done that a few months ago. I would like to make a decision on a nice DAC in the next week or so. |
It never hurts to start with an inexpensive piece that sounds surprisingly nice, 'good enough' to start, for future emergencies, loan to friends .... and you have it to compare/prove something you try sounds better. I have a Pyle $16. MM RIAA phono stage, I used it with a Carver Cube Amp while choosing a new integrated for my office. I tried/compared and returned 3 highly respected mid-priced phono stages to it, finally the phono in my Little Luxman Tube Integrated sounds better to me. |
