The big DAC decision
@mayoradamwest.  I provided my specific reasons for choosing the Lumin X1 over the Chord DAVE in an earlier post. 
The big DAC decision
Thanks for the feedback jfax237.  I am enjoying the WA-33 as well.  And it’s good to know that a quality DAC will indeed add to my listening pleasure :-)I’ve gotten some great DAC suggestions.  I was originally leaning towards the Chord DAVE but I... 
The big DAC decision
Some great comments to consider!I really have tried to do my homework for this decision.  But as some of you have already pointed out, there are several different technologies that have to be considered.  Then you have to consider that the DAC may...

I want to thank all of you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with me.  After following up on pretty much all of your suggestions I thought I should at least share my current direction on this.  Well it’s my current directi...

Thanks audioengr, I wasn’t aware of these DACs.  Czarivey, I’m just looking for a high quality DAC that will provide me with a lifetime of listening enjoyment.  I don’t want to look back five years from now wishing I had spent a few dollars more now.

The big DAC decision
Thanks for the suggestions melbguyone, I’m extremely happy with my Woo Audio amp though.I really appreciate the clean power suggestion.  I have no doubt that it can have an appreciable effect on my system’s performance.  It’s been frustrating tryi... 
The big DAC decision
I agree with you bigkidz.  After all, a sound system can only be as good as its weakest link.  As a consequence, from a cost to benefit point of view, you want your individual system components to operate within similar technical specifications.  ... 
The big DAC decision
Now that I think about it, I think my basic question is whether a high end DAC is really appropriate for a system built around a pair of headphones.

Thanks for the input Erik.  Have you had an opportunity to compare your Mytek Brooklyn to the Manhattan II?
