Apologies for this being slightly off topic but I am in the process of identifying a 'good' dac to purchase and wondered when you say that all competent dacs are indistinguishable are you referring to a particular design approach or purchase price point? If so, other than your list of manufacturers above, how would you identify a 'competent' dac? I understand that I will ultimately need to let my own ears be the final arbiter, preferably in a DBT environment, but first I must identify a list of potential candidate dacs to choose from hence the question. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ russelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94855 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
