Hi Folks


I recently purchased a JDS Atom amp Headphone and I already have two DACs.

1- Meridian Explorer DAC v1

2- Topping D10s

In my little experience and after some testing I found that Meridian sounded better than Topping.

I'm using Meridian's fixed output which provides 2v rms (it is a combination analogue/digital optical type and provides fixed-level analogue (2v RMS) and digital
(S/PDIF optical) Toslink outputs for connection to an external audio system.), because apparently the sound sounds more detailed to me, with a bigger texture.

Any help here? Can I get a better option than these two DACs I already own without straying too far from my budget?

What's your budget? $150? $200?

US$150
 
I would probably get a Schiit Modi3+ in the US. Not really an upgrade to D10S though.
