DAC Recommendation around 2.5K


There are so many new DACs, it makes one head swim.

I currently have a PS Audio DL III w/ level 3 Cullen mods
it sounds great, very analog and musical, however will not do 24/192 even via coax. So.....

Hegel HD25? NAD M51? I want to have a usb 24/192 to avoid another device in the chain (in order to use coax)

System:

Jolida fusion preamp (with mods)
channel island d-200 moon block amps
acoustic zen adagio speakers
kimber silver cable
soundstring cable
"anti-cables" for speaker wire

Listen to ALL types of music, so dac needs to be comfortable with classical and jazz but also lots of classic rock

Thank You

PS: i do not care about DSD capability, don't buy it....

The Burson audio conductor have 24/192 capability and you can also switch Dac pcb to your liking.
If you can up your budget, there's a great deal on a Aesthetix Panadora DAC on Agon.
Everyone has their favorite to recommend, including me.

I have tried several high end DACs, and they are all good. I keep coming back to the Antelope Audio Zodiac Gold for it's great I/O and the fact that the volume attenuator is on the analog side of the chain. Personally, I haven't heard anything better.
