DACs

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

OK what is the very very best DAC (vintage or current) made, and has anyone looked at studio units, some are going at good prices. I want an analogy one like my old DACon but better. AND I don't have to time or the will to build one.

Lot of votes for this, but bloody expensive when you can find one http://www.thevintageknob.org/sony-DAS-R1.html

Best I've come across is DPAs PDM2. I'd not describe it as "analogue" though. Probably the most analogue DAC I've had that was also decent was Micromega's T-DAC.
