In Reply to: So, how do cheap DAC stack up? posted by TopPop on February 7, 2006 at 18:12:08:
If I were to generalize, I would say that a modern DAC in the $1000 range (new) +/-, will sound better than a CDP or expensive DAC of the 1990's. Why do you think old "high-end" DACs that once cost a small fortune have depreciated in value more than any other audiophile component? A good $1000 DAC of today will likely outperform a good $5000 DAC of the 1990's.Again, this is a generaliztion but this is one area where I think audiophiles are getting a lot more performance for a lot less money compared to a decade ago.
And to take this even further, you may be surprised to find some outstanding "cheapo" CD/DVD players from places like Best Buy or Target.
