Which dac?

[Sovereign]

Have the Jolida and am very happy with it.
What I like is the fact one can 'tailor' the sound somewhat by tube rolling.
I've owned and heard several DAC's and the Jolida is by far the best.

Alan I have had my eye on one of these for some time, what have you compared the Jolida DAC to?

+1 for the M2Tech Young Dac with Linear power supply
I just bought a nice Sabre dac and I thought this one will see off the Young but no, its close but the Young just has somthing speacial.
Very nice DAC and can be picked up second hand a good price.

Yup the Young DAC is excellent but for outright VFM it has to be the Bushmaster 2 IMO.

Looking around at reviews the BM2 looks like the best for the money, will definitely be purchasing one if i see a 2nd hand one for sale at a good price.

I doubt you will see many BM2's going secondhand for a goodly while yet John although you can expect to see a few BM1's up for sale soon from members who have upgraded to a BM2

I got a few test units out there that a couple of helpful AoSers are using to do comparison tests etc for me. Once they get back to base I might get rid of them at a 2nd hand price.
Put in a bid via PM and as soon as I have one to part with I shall let you know if I can help out or not.

There you go John, you can't say fairer than that

What do you think of these? They look mighty fine to me.

these are also and excellent DAC at a good price, I have one at home and it is very close to my young dac in SQ but ultimately not quite as good.

If you want a quality British designed and British manufactured Dac then I can't recommend the Rega Dac highly enough. They are also frequently available on the used market
