[複製鏈接]
發表於 2013-4-20 09:54:28 | 顯示全部樓層 |閱讀模式
Just want to know which dac(s) can be used as a pre-amp and has XLR output (e.g. mytek/asus?) in the price range of :-

1) Below $10K
2) $10-20K
3) over $20K (not so important, as out of my budget)

Thank you.

Wyred4sound DAC2 - 2nd hand under 10k
Antelope Zodiac+ + PSU - 2nd hand under 20k (but no remote )

But the pre-amp performance of these DAC may not be significantly better than your Anthem MRX 700 I guess...

Thank you very much for your reply.

As a matter of fact, my Anthem would redigitise every non-digital(analogue) input first, process, convert back to analogue before output(i.e. no stereo by pass/direct mode), so I wonder its output quality for dac would degrade due to this unnecessary process. Otherwise a dac like calyx would suit me, I guess.

In addition, my legacy proceed amp 3 has both rca (for AV) and xlr inputs (for dac), so I wonder if it would be a good idea to buy a dac(most probably 2nd hand to save money, and the fact procduct life cycle of dac is short?  ) with xlr output and pre-amp ability to play with for long time...

If using my existing Logitech SBT (I love its simplicity and operation simplicity over a pc) as a player connecting to the dac, which dac you recommend? Thx.

我以前用過Wyred4sound DAC1。分析力幾好,音樂感唔錯。不過唔知SBT可唔可以由USB去W4S DAC2(因為行Async,一係行coaxial),我估有師兄玩過,要扒下文。R33有部放緊仲有保,可以諗下。

不過呢部無headphone amp(我記得Poon Sir你好似玩headphone)。其他DAC如Antelope Zodiac+,Anedio D2 ,Asus(?)。。。可以pre-amp + headphone,會唔會仲啱你?

如有心機時間,買幾款大路二手機(有無pre-amp都試)自己比較下然後放走唔啱聽嗰啲

I think so, learnt this from avs forum long time ago, if not remembering wrong. No problem for av (hdmi inputs in my case ), not so good for analogue inputs (cd and dac rca ). You can test it with your golden ears, after all,  output sound quality is all that matters. I tried my legacy sony cdp, using coaxial connection to anthem is better than using rca out to anthem.

Thx, asus dac spec meets my budget and expectation, muse opamp version is even more promising, but hk price at $9k is expensive, as it is priced in Taiwan at only HKD 6.x K.

Buying/trying different dacs is not my style, no money, no time and tin ears....pls see my signature.
