Hi guys, I am by no means an Audiophile, but you guys are, so I'd appreciate a bit of advice!
I've been running my squeezebox3 into a NAD C340 Amp and Mission 773e speakers for the past couple of months, and am reasonably happy with the sound, but it's a bit thin and involving compared to my old NAD c521BEE CD player. I've been reading about DACs, and was hoping a £150ish one would make a real difference to the sound - a Derek Shek DAC seems like a good option. I know it's hard to comment without actually hearing for yourselves, but would I be able to tell the difference on my budget amp? If so, should I get the old (d1?) or new (d2?) Shek DAC, or are there any other £150ish DACs you could suggest? The music I listen to...? Some of my favourite artists are Roots Manuva, The Roots, Stevie Wonder, DJ Shadow, Massive Attack. But I regularly listen to things as diverse as Charles Mingus, Metallica and The Flaming Lips. I hope that helps!
