For some time I have been looking for a DAC that has a slightly different kind of sound than the "smooth" that is popular today. Is there a DAC on the market that presents more of a "crispy sound" than the popular "smooth"?
Reading the various reviews, one gets the impression that the "smooth" version of the sound is currently highly promoted. Unfortunately, not every sound system works well and not everyone likes it.
My Topping E30 sounds a bit "crispy", but I would like to find something more refined, but with a similar "crispy" sound.
Or are there any companies that are particularly known for this sound signature?
Have any of You, testing many different DACs, found the DAC I'm looking for? My budget is up to 500-800 euros maximum.
Thanks in advance for any help, as I haven't been able to find any advice on this on my own.
