Indeed, a recent USB-based DAC from Mytek, Benchmark and/or Wyred already sound MUCH MORE transparent than an old Wadia 2000, Wadia 26 and/or Mark 36 or 36S. Sure the top models from Wadia, Mark and/or Spectral still have their merits, underpinned by their much better analogue output stage (not opamp-based) and excellent power supply. However, remember what I meant by comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges. It is just utterly unfair to compare a HKD10K plus DAC to, for example, Wadia 9, Wadia 27, Mark 30/30.5, Spectral and/or top Cello or Jeff Rowland.
That said, try audition the more recent entries from Berkeley Audio, MSB Technology, Bricastic Design, Metrum Pavane etc and one will realise and appraise the much better sonic performance, which are NOT restricted to only higher resolution, and/or frequency extension but also to much quieter background, much more precise clock, which is reflected in excellent pace and rhythm and much better micro and macro-dynamics.
Old DACs? Suck in not only resolution, higher frequency definition and details but also in the time and order of music. Those water fishes seekers who continue to claim their DAC are "analogue" sounding are just trying to confuse audiophiles of the limitation in frequency distribution with warm, good texture mid-vocals from LP systems! |
