Update: Just ordered the Topping D90! Finding out that it measures better than the Bryston was the final straw that got the credit card out.
Unless your headamp is Bryston BHA-x ;-) ....
Nope, this is for the system that drives my Magnepans :=)
Current sources that I'd route through whatever DAC I get
- An old Adcom CD player with coaxial output that doesn't sound anywhere near as good as my broken Yamaha changer
- An AppleTV 4k + HDMI audio interceptor with optical and RCA analog outputs. The RCA outputs sound particularly terrible
- A PC that is using the old (good) version of the Behringer UCA202, going to hook that to the USB of the DAC and use the UCA202 on another machine
Rest of the system in the unlikely event anyone cares:
- Magnepan .7, currently searching for a used set of 3.x's or 20.x's for that ribbon tweeter sweetness
- NAD 116 Preamplifier (1 balanced CD input where I'd plug in the D90, 1 balanced output to the amp)
- NAD 218THX Amplifier (balanced input)
- Denon DP-57M / Denon DL-301Mk2 / Vista Audio Phono 2
- A handful of Yamaha YST servo-controlled subwoofers equalized by a Behringer DCX2496 and overall sub system volume controlled by a Nobsound Little Bear MC2 (using unbalanced input from NAD and balanced output to DCX2496)
- A handful of Fuhrman PL-8C power conditioners
- Logitech Harmony Hub + power-triggered power strip + voltage-triggered power switch things for seamless almost-idiot-proof usage by normal people
- 50" Sony TV + and BD player
