Total silence while everyone decides whether to finally consign me to the loony bin for falling head over heels for a DAC that cost me £75.
... not to mention an amp that set me back £119.
Used with speakers that currently retail at £23k

For Spotify I use a Chromecast audio using my old sony 930 minidisc as the dac, would getting one of these babys be a better way to go?

It's not the first time I've been told I've got a mullet of a system.
But then, they hadn't heard it either.

A mullet of a system?
Buisness in the front, party in the back?

If a digital fronted system isn't a mullet system then you've not spent wisely.
Or you've maxed out.
One or the other.

Lol - indeed... Although one wonders how it would sound with a £23k front end (digital or analogue) and amps to match!

Or even judiciously selected £5-6k ones, for that matter... But we've been here before

Thanks for the heads up on that Valve DAC Jerry. I've ordered one. I've had a lovely Audionote DAC in the past and its' sweetness is much missed. Cant wait to play my Chromecast Audio into it.
