Sorry redundant Best DAC under 600.


I currently have a Parasound Zdac and would like upgrade without breaking the bank

Thanks

This may sound controversial but the answer to your question may depend on how you’re planning to use the DAC. Supposedly, if it’s intended to “enhance“ your Redbook CD playback, the Multibit options, even the cheaper Schiit Modi Multibit @ $250 could be a good option. If you’re planning to use it for streaming purposes, a non-Multibit/R2R DAC may be a better option. Same for SACD playback. That said, I doubt if the audible differences between the two DAC chip technologies in this price range will be significant.
The Marantz HD-DAC1 is a nice full-featured DAC that you might be able to find used in your price range.  I'm not sure why it doesn't get more attention than it does - I actually found it to perform slightly better than the SA-14s1 as a stand-alone DAC, and it's a third of the cost of the Reference SACD player.
Audio-GD NFB-11.28.  $330 plus $34 shipping to USA.  Cheapest way to get:  1. latest ESS Sabre DAC, 2. fully discrete Analog stage, 3. Fully discrete linear power supply, 4. Amanero USB input.    Or you can go for one of the higher priced models, still under $1000.
Contact Tommy at the Digital Amplifier Company and get some data about his DAC in the High Spec (HS) variation. He simply released the Gen 2 and is taking trade ins on the Gen 1 towards the Gen 2, . I have a Gen 1 and have no convincing motivation to move to the Gen 2 since I use tube furnish. The DAC is to an extraordinary degree melodic with stacks of detail. I trust each DAC goes with a multi day no issue stock trade.
