Boutique DACs

@kray I have had the full gambit of Asian, European and North American DAC's come through my listening space, Tubed, SS, Hybrids and I keep the LessLoss DAC’s in my systems. They just work for me, in both systems organic, non colored and they are so engaging. Key is having a strong server/streamer and decent cables and power supplies. I have throughout my systems the LessLoss 640X and power cables all entropic. Lois and Vil are pure geniuses. 

I’m a big fan of older R2R chip based DACs like the AD1862 and AD1865.

LTA Aero DAC has the AD1865 or you can get the Audial S5b with the TDA1541.

You could also hop onto DIYaudio and build one. I’ve got an AD1862 DAC with a tube I/V stage using a NOS GE 6DJ8 and it sounds amazing.

Berkley Audio - they make one thing...DACs.

They are the orginal team of Pacific Microsonics: among other achievements, wrote the original DSP code that realized HDCD encoding and decoding (including the PMD-100 and PDM-200 digital filters).

Another vote for LTA Aero.
