I have always been a vinyl guy, and also had CD players and then DAC's that did the digital chores. IME digital kept staying clearly inferior due to something just not right in the highs - - until I started using R2R DAC's. I first built an Audio Note Kits 4.1 LE DAC, and it just had musical soul like my string of CD players had not. Then I got on the Lampizator train, and have not looked back. I found the Big 7 to be very competitive with my vinyl rig. I would strongly suggest looking for a deal on a good used Lampi for something that can pair successfully with a vinyl loving system and audio nut.
A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
Hi All,
I have a ModWright Oppo 105D. It’s excellent....but it sure don’t sound like vinyl or tape.
What DACs have you heard that really work like magic on digital audio files?
I am interested in DACs that kill that digital glare/blare, that gives you that sense of ‘blackness’ or ‘darkness’ to the audio soundscape, really letting you hear into the mix...ya know that layering, space and depth that is very evident on tape.
Very curious to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!
