I'd do a two-week trial of an SW1X DAC. Everything I've heard from owners of these DACs implies a very organic and 3D sound I associate with vinyl. Hey, they offer an in-home trial with very little financial risk (just shipping). AND, it sounds like you can speak with the designer and he actually responds and cares!!! Frankly, if you try one I doubt it's going back based on comments from owners. Best of luck in whatever you decide.
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!
