I’ve been thinking about a new source. I have a uDAC now and it pretty much suits my purposes. I’ve considered a dedicated amp but think that might be a little more than I need. The uDAC 2 apparently has a better amp for the headphone out than the original; and the DAC section is supposedly improved too. So that’s an option
I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about the Audinst. Does anybody know how it compares to the uDAC 2. The other source component that’s gotten my attention is the Audio GD Sparrow. I think both the Audinst and the Sparrow use the much ballyhooed Woolfson chip. Though I don’t know why it’s supposedly better than the Sabre DAC chip that the uDAC uses.
I’m also intrigued by the Schiit Asgard as a dedicated amp to pair with the uDAC or maybe the ef2, Little Dot +1, or Darkvoice. Although I'm not real sure I want to fiddle with tubes.
I’ve read through the threads and used the search function just looking for more specific impressions I guess. I just got some MS2’s, so I’m looking for something that synergizes well with them. Something that could warm them up a skosh and make the presentation just a wee bit warmer.
