Is my Audio Alchemy DAC outdated?


I bought the DDE V1.1 in 1994. It's still going strong. But, would I get better sound by upgrading to a new player or DAC? My transport is a Yamaha. Thanks for any response.

It is almost as out of date as a computer from 1994.

Time to move on. Search here and google around on USB DAC.
Herman is right, but don't dump it (it's not worth that much anyway). I have one too, and it's still way better than the DAC in any under $300 DVD player.

Recently, I discovered it will even accept/decode 24/96 sources (I was amazed!)
Yes it is, there has been a lot of progress in DACs over the last 12 years. Just basic DAC chips in todays DVD players outperform older high-end players. Ever heard the buzz on the modified cheap Toshiba, Samsung, and Panasonic DVD players? (Audio Asylum forums) If you are looking at an upgrade, Check out Reference Audio Mods and their Samsung players.. amazing sound for the money.
