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!

I find many of the latest DACs are absolutely excellent and digital glare is much less of an issue these days.

The PS Audio Directstream Sr is Stereophile Class A+ and is notable for a very analog sound without any loss of detail. Lots of blackness and a deep soundstage from Row 10.
