Hello,
This is my first post to the forum (apologies if this is in the wrong place).
I want to buy my first DAC and I am trying to decide which way to go. Right now I listen to Tidal (maybe switching to Amazon) through my MacBook and my beyerdynamic A20 headphone amp. I use HD6xx headphones.
I have narrowed down my search to four DACs. Two are balanced and two have screens + filters.
So my questions are:
1) How important is a balanced DAC (I plan to upgrade my headphone amp in the next year, something balanced is definitely in the budget)?
2) How important are filters?
3) Are screens important on a DAC? On one hand I think it would be interesting to see the bit rate etc, but on the other hand that might be a distraction from me simply enjoying music.
4) Between the four DACs selected which one would you choose?
