stock is stock, luxery is in between, and the one with the separate psu is the best option. that's the order of sound quality as well.

And the only difference between the Luxery Version and the Standard + PSU is the separate PSU is a hair better. (I think it has a better voltage regulator or somthing like that) if you plan to mod, you also get more room in the standard + psu. I've owned and heard the Version 2.1 DAC and the 3.0 Luxery dac. The Luxery dac in stock form sounded better then my 2.1 dac, I attribute that mostly to the power supply, but the 3.0 dac also had a reclocker that the 2.1 dac does not, im not 100% certain the reclocker helps much though. I managed to break my 3.0 dac attempting to mod it and now im listening to modded 2.1 dac. also, for what it's worth, the Quality Control and build quality of the 2.1 dac was signifigantly better then my 3.0 version. But im pretty sure that's luck of the draw. |
