My first post and I know every one will have a different opinion but I need some ideas.
My current setup is a WD tv Live and 1Tb WD elements feeding a Cambridge Audio Dac 3 into a Stax SRM-1 Mk2 with Stax Lamdba pro headphones. I love the sound (although it does show up bad recordings!)
I was looking into a NOS DAC as I wanted to be able to listen to 24bit/96khz flac files and so bought a Muse Audio Dac from ebay for £30. But as soon as I plugged it in it sounded dull and lifeless compared to the CA Dac. Having never heard a nos dac maybe that's what it sounds like?
I was also looking at a Lite Dac as a cheap upgrade or maybe a DACmagic as I like the old version so much.
I'm not scared of the soldering iron, so any threads to help me would be greatful received.
Thanks
