Chord DAC 64 or Rega DAC

Hi all,

 

I'm tossing up between buying a brand new Rega DAC or a second hand Chord DAC 64. The Chord is old but I hear they're very good.

 

Does anyone have an opinion one way or the other?

 

Regards,

BM

I haven't heart the Chord but I've read many glowing reviews.

Those reviews tend to describe the Chord as detailed and without added warmth, analytical.

The Rega I know very well, it is an organic, full sounding musical DAC.

So their character seem to be rather different, depends on what you prefer.

you might consider the features they have to offer, balanced? usb? preamp? etc etc.

I'm using a Lehmann Linear headphone amp so amp isn't needed. I prefer coax S/PDIF. After reading a great deal on the subject, I think I'm leaning more towards the Rega.
