Best DAC Under $5000 - Opinions Please


Anyone have any thoughts? I am on the great DAC hunt and need to get a list together of DACs to audition. Thanks...Mike

The Audio Logic 2400 cannot be beat at this price range. Jerry Ozmet the designer is a genius. I think the only better DACs are the 10K Levinson or the DCS stuff. The 360S is an excellent DAC, but the 2400 has more microdynamic control, clarity, and depth.
I have not heard the MSB Tech. Link Platinum, but it is on my short list with the Camelot Uther Mk III V. 2 (or whatever it is).
I cast my vote for the Audio Logic 2400 as well. The most "alive"-sounding dac I've heard.
If you are into ultimate detail and resolution the new Dodson is absolutly great. If you want a more harmonic richness and smoothness with slighly less detail and resolution than the Dodson try a used Wadia 9.
