The SA5K is really pleasing to my ears and wish to maximize it. At first, the DAC1 was used, but overall, I I find it too bright and thin in the lower regions for the Sony's.
Now, I am using a stock Samsung HD841. While the synergy is better, the articulation is not.
So basically, a source is desired that can add bottow weight while sacrificing as little speed/articulation as possible. I can swing up to $1200.
So far I am considering the Mini-DAC, but I am worried it might be TOO slow for the SA5.
Also in the radar is the DAC2, but the reviews, I read place it close to the DAC1.
I am also open to standalones.
Anyone have a suggestion and/or experience that can help me out?
