1. Level matched . 2. Reasonably well performing DAC's ,(error below human treshold of hearing) Expected results . However that can be said about most of your line level components . But things adds up in the end , so having better performing components is good even if that single component cant be distinguished in isolation , but the proper context and perspective is good . Otherwise you end up with 30k $ dac's ! A good thought is if a new DAC would be the best upgrade for the system in total . 3. Beware of some cult designed dacs NOS and tubes etc ,they may actually sound different :) this is of-course perceived as better by some (as always ) If you have more than one digital source a DAC may be unavoidable , then the MDAC seems to be a good performer for the money ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92112 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
