Hi all,
Long time member doing mostly reading but I figured it was time to get some input on my choice for a new dac/amp for my 800S.
I've basically narrowed it down to these units:
I'm not interested in audio-gd or schiit, so basically the above is where it's at.
My listening source consists of an extensive FLAC library, and only that. No need for DSD or anything like that.
For me, the RME unit has a very attractive price, the Holo unit is also within reach. I'm slightly uncomfortable with the Moon and Ayre prices though.
Does anyone have any experience with these units coupled with 800S?
I also realize that I would need to get some other balanced cables than the ones that comes with the 800S if deciding on the Codex which isn't helping, price wise.
Appreciate any input!
