Dac-50

[restock]

Sorry for taking this back to the original question - I do own a DAC40, DAC50 and DC37. Yes, the DC37 is a brilliant DAC with more resolution, more separation and really heart stopping on classical music. However, the DAC 40 and 50 are really excellent, great value, no need for an interconnect. And on some music they perform at close to the same level and still excellent. I would say the DAC options perform at a 4K DAC level and I would guess also at the same level as the 430.

So if you don’t care for CDs and prefer running from stored files (preferred and better than CD or Tidal) the DAC 50 is a great option. If you run streaming the DAC 50 would still be the best option.
