I upgraded my fuses so they now have electrical continuity from one end to the other..
 
Makes a world of difference to tonality.

  I have owned two world class sources which cost in the $10,000 range each and I sold them for a $1250 DAC from Ultra-Fi called the Dac-41.  It is one tenth the weight and size of the others and is dead neutral and more musical than anything I ever heard.

 


Which ones?

Ayon Skylla 2, and Reimyo DAP-999EX

  Think he owned a Skylla.  With upgraded fuses.

I've been thinking about about a fuse upgrade.  May I ask which fuses you all like?

Hi Fi tuning supreme fuses.

I don't care personally, the manufacturers I trust to make my amps/preamps/DACs I also trust to make good choices for fuses, especially ones in the signal path.  
 
I only mentioned fuses by rsbrsvp's Ayon as it may have been one thing that drove the price up so high.

i keep forgetting how good the Th-900 sounds with the GSX MK2...

Check the thread, lots of impressions there. They sound really good with the GSX mk2 if that is what you are asking.

I bought the DACT version but 12 weeks? I don't think i can wait that long 

 
Should I buy RSA apache instead? They seem to be around similar price.

12 weeks? I wish! But I hear it's worth the wait. I am relatively lucky and only ordered about 12 weeks ago. Some people have been waiting much longer.

Now I need a DAC to complement my GS-X.
I saw a guy who asked a same question, but my budget is lower ==> 2.5k max.
Can anyone recommend me one?

 

[justin w.]

i have the Ayre QB-9 USB DAC and am happy with it

 

[Greed]

PWD MK II (MK I upgraded preferred)
NAD M51
Lynx Hilo
Weiss 202 (Used)
AGD M7 (haven't heard but have heard it is very good, especially with a good usb converter)
Buffalo III (especially if you have solder skills)

No one pays MSRP on the PWD2.  So my goto at ~$2500 is still the PWD2.  The slightly lower cost Bryston BDA-2 is also quite good.
