Are there any DACs that can go low?

Lets not forget that an analog turntable can produce some subsonic info that a digital source of the same recording will not. Sometimes added subsonics can influence the bass perception heard by the listener.

Further, I believe a analog produced sound image will be different than a digital reproduction of the same source in part due to the reduced channel separation of a phono cartridge. The best channel separation in a cartridge will be many dB lower than a digital source. Notice I say different, not better or worse.

Dsd audio as well as any quality dac now can go toe to toe with Any turntables for or less money.
Dollar per dollar,digital has better s/n ratio, dynamic range, lower noise floor, and for sure lower Bass. But people have using turntables for so long
Including myself is because it sounds so natural.the tide now has turned.
I use DB power amp to rip cds to a External SS drive,then To J Rivers to a Auraliti Player 1500 Album library.Mytek makes a nice dac for !$1500 range to step it up to the Aurender Vega dac,for $4500 retail including the player and I Pad, it will smoke Any $15k turntable setup even more
iMO, and no crackly disks to clean. I just use my I Pad to pull up Wav files,
Hirez, or DSD downloads And just relax.the hardest part is ripping
Cds to the HD. When I read articles on turntables for $100K ,I Say for what
Just more work to do? Some people just want to re live the past,which
Is fine ,just not for me .

If you are after great bass and analog SQ (no harshness) from CD rips, this is the DAC:

No-risk either. 30-day money-back.

Any decent DAC can 'read' the signal which contains all the info necessary. The bass is there but it can be something as simple as impedance matching or it can be the quality of the power supply to the DAC.

I've had several CDPs and thought they were all quite fine until I got a SACD player (Marantz SA15S2b) with a well built (over built?) power supply and the bass I got out of my system floored me. And that was with Redbook. The DAC in it is no different than what's used in some of the stand alone DACs out there. It's all a matter of how it's implemented.

All the best,

Dacs are as sensitive to input changes as anything else in the chain. I have went through quite a few high and low end Dacs and feeding them correctly brings out the best rewards. My little Jolida FX Tube Dac is a top notch performer for my uses. I selected it specifically for my Apple TV unit to play the HD music channels. With stock cords it sounded mildly OK, but after replacing the power cord with a PS Audio AC-12 and using the new WireWorld Series 7 TosLink (to couple the Apple TV), the dac is stunning... Well at least to a point. I also replaced the original power cord for the Apple TV with a PS Audio C-7 type cord and also use a Harmonic Tech. HDMI, but there is still one bridge to cross. The jitter from the Apple does not make the unit unlistenable, but it does affect the entire signal... Top to bottom. Sibilance in the voice range is particularly annoying in that the singer (particularly female) sounds as though they are chewing on a corn snake when hitting the high notes. On the lower end, cellos can sound like an in-estrous Baboon scratching it's tootie on a bamboo tree. There is a cure for this somewhere in the form of a little box (there always seems to be a "little box", doesn't there ?). I have heard that it stops the itch for the baboon and also jerks the corn snake from Diana Krall's lovely lips. I don't know who makes it or what it is called, but there is one of those boxes out there somewhere. However, I'm sure that they are at least $10,000 and there is a waiting line because the baboons and corn snakes have them all bought up.
