Hey Ethan,
How about a Cambridge 840C digtal out into a D2D which reclocks the data and then sends it thru an I2Se cable into a Sonic Frontiers SFD2 mark3 with further updated special edition Caps and power supply ugrades, tubes, etc. from Connexion,s Chris Johnson the original designer.
The SFD2 Mark3 is a 24/96 dac and KILLS the mark2!!!!! Have yet to hear anything better this combo.
Hope all is well

I would absolutely take something like a Sonic Frontiers SFD-2 Mk2 (From mid 90's) over a new cheap DAC. The problem is that DAC's like that don't often see the light of day. |
