$2000 Dac

I have kept my eyes on the Dac comparisons. What I'd like to know is what Dac can I buy new or used for under $2000? I am looking for examples that don't throw the voices so far in front. Yes, I like the detail. I am coming from a Luxman dac that was very good, but I just felt the voices were too close, often pianos felt the same. Sometimes almost feeling a little glare as well. So, I am searching for a detailed dac with a little more laid back mids for under 2 grand, new or used. thanks

Garlubidor is obviously someone who applies slippery substances to the particular species of fish known as Gar.

Now, tell me: what’s so strange about that?  

;o)

I was actually going to buy that one but I thought it looked a little hodge podge inside. And the balanced outs sounded like an afterthought. So I was skeptical. I've never even heard of them before so I had to take some time and investigate. You beat me to it. I hope it works well for you. thanks May I ask which dac it replaced?

T3 is a classic, not a DAC of the season. Enjoy it!!!
