[size=10pt]Hello,[/size]
[size=10pt]I have a Rega DAC on loan to hear how it sounds with my Rega Brio R & Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 speakers. I liked it very much but feel very hesitant to pull the trigger. I don't know how old the Rega DAC is but I'm finding reviews going back to 2010 so it's been around awhile and still retails for $895 new. [/size]
[size=10pt]There are many newer DACs out now that can handle 24 / 192 asynchronously thru USB & SPDIF / Coax for a lot less like the Bifrost, ifi iDac, MyDac, and Emotiva XDA-2. If I get the Rega DAC, I'm going to have to get an USB to SPDIF/Coax converter to play my 24 / 192 files. I do like the Rega DAC. I think it has a nice warm, organic sound and can see how some feel it's very close to analog.[/size]
[size=10pt]Could something that's been around 3 years old still be on par & competitive with the newer DACs on the market?[/size]
