Currently using a Rega Dac-R as well as a Musical Fidelity V90.

Contemplating a Naim Dac V1 for headphone listening.

I just got an Aqua Formula driven from a Mac Mini over USB. I think the DAC is awesome.

Metrum Onyx …. love it. I am thinking about adding the MQA card to it, but I am waiting to hear more listening impressions / opinions on MQA from Tidal.

My sonic path = MacBook Pro => Verastarr Nemesis USB cable => Matrix X-SPDIF2 ddc (powered by Uptone LPS1.2) => Snake River Boomslang SPDIF cable => Metrum Onyx. A Synology DS218j NAS stores my music files.

What DAC did the Aqua replace?

Lawrence_Kellogg · May 9, 2018, 2:41pm

The Aqua replaced the DAC section of an Accuphase DP-65V CD player. My sound has moved dramatically, partly due to a new amp and partly due to the new DAC.

ExaSound E38 DAC + ExaSound PlayPoint + Teddy Pardo LPS

This multichannel combo works beautifully with Roon. Excuse the amateurish photo!
