Hi fellow headfiers,
 
I recently purchased a Cavalli Liquid Gold but i have no idea which DAC to pair it with. it seems little info/impressions is given in the Lau thread.
To those who have tried it, Can you suggest a DAC that pairs well with it?

What are your budget and requirements?
 
E.G. Does it need to be able to play PCM and DSD,
 
What's the source
 
balanced or single ended

... exasound e20 DAC.
Optical, RCA & USB (mini) digital inputs, RCA & balanced outputs, volume adjustment (also via apple remote) PCM & DSD whatever you may need but most importantly it sounds like music !

Depends on what you mean by no maximum budget, some of us have a different idea of that than others. Are you talking up to $5K or as much as $120K?
 
I have just gone on a high end DAC purchasing mission so can help with some feedback on the uber high end DAC's
