Hey - I am interested in building the best quality DAC possible (or a couple of them for comparison) but when I search for DIY DAC info I mostly get posts from 2012 or earlier, so I thought I would try and get a newer list together as a resource for anyone looking to do similar.
I have the PupDAC and while it was a fun build, I am not sure if it sounds much better than DAC's that cost around $250. Also seems to be lots of portable DAC's out there for quick builds.
So what the next step up? I've looked at the Buffalo DAC and am quite interested. AMB's gamma 2 has great reviews for a portable, and I am really looking forward to the larger gamma3 coming out shortly(fingers crossed).
What else does everyone have experience with?
