I need a fantastic DAC

Hello all. after owning a number of big name DACs, the Wadia 9 with old technology (ten years old) is still coming out on top. I would seriously doubt SACD would do much better than the redbook Wadia 9. anyone that have ever had an opportunity to compare please let me know. I'd like to hear any suggestions on a second DAC.

Hard to go wrong with an Audio Note DAC 3.1 or 4.1

Try MBL1611 or EMM DCC2.

Benchmark DAC-1. It is superior to my previous Wadia 25 in nearly every way and is much less sensitive to transports than most of the competition. Good luck!
