Are you able to DIY? Many projects worth considering if you can handle the solder station.

I can DIy if needed, if it's not too complex, and there are instructions

As you don't mind DIY so long as there are instructions, I have a project (slowly) going on here for building your own discrete (no opamp) NOS DAC based on Lite DAC-AH. Is the DAC-AH case the correct size for your stack?

The NoS scares me a bit, as it's not the latest and greatest. I'm sure it's grea,t but my mind won't allow me to buy it

This is the latest NOS DAC - built for sound quality but has good measurements too - better frequency response flatness and better HF distortion. Don't confuse 'NOS = no oversampling' with 'Nos = New old stock'.

OH! Makes sense. Project seams complex though! Haha is the gamma2 an easy build?

 

[Sapientiam]

Agreed, its not for the faint hearted DIYer. Dunno about the gamma2.

I'm thinking DACMagic by Cambridge, but I thinks it's out of budget. Tubemagic D2 looks good too, but, I hear it's only worth it with the OPAMP upgrade, and Thad put me at $289. A bit too much. This seams to be a bad price point, at about 350 there's the bitfrost, the DACMagic, gamma2 built, a few AudioGD's. At 150, there are a bunch of Amp/Dacs, and the Odac. At $250, there's nothing lol. Only thing I really have found is the non upgraded D2...


Any help is greatly appreciated

 

[DutchGFX]

Bumpity bump bump... Sorry... Had to do it haha. Still dont know what to dooooo!

Thinking:
Audio GD NFB q5.32
Maverick D2
Gamma2, but prolly a bit out of price range

DacMagic plus gets my vote
