DAC popularity check

[erd]

There are a lot of DACs out there... and I'm wondering which DACs are the most popular around here. So, let's list the DAC that we currently own.

So, copy the most updated list, paste it in the reply box and add your DAC to the list. If your DAC is already on the list, just increment the number in the bracket.

There're probably similar threads like this in the past... but I can't find it... at least this will get some recently released DAC on the list.

How do you categorize "level"? Price? SQ?

 

[Ninkul]

Price. SQ is too vague and subjective.

 

[JulioCat2]

As first level is Budget/Entry level: i think it's price
