Will the Xcan3 DAC halt my upgraditis!!

[kool bubba ice]

I'm coming from a Modded GM DAC, so I assume the difference will be huge.. I hate always thinking about upgrading.. If I want to upgrade beyond a 1,000 DAC I'm in trouble. Seriously.. This is getting out of control.. I got VHP-1's last month, & am already thinking about the HEED & Eddie Currents SS amp..

I feel like I'm going in circles.. Maybe I have a complusive disorder or somthing.. I spent 2,800 on audio sine June, & work at BB, so you know, I don't get paid a lot.. Does this ever stop?

What didn't you like about the GM?

I liked it..Just wanted a class A DAC.. & I'm sure the XCan3 DAC fits the bill, at least among DACS in the 1,000 group..

Is the X-DAC recommended without the X-PSU or does it make no sense?

From what I hear the DAC still sounds great without the PS..

The XDAC v3 is great... and gets consistently great reviews (check them out via Google and the MF site).

But... the only things that will likely stop your "upgraditis" are the limitations of your budget... or a wife!

No, no no. Having your money automatically invested so that you can't get at it is a better choice...


Particularlly if you plan to get a wife.

Bad choice.
A) could cure your problem.
B) could lead to upgraditis of a different type!

And upgrades of that kind are far more expensive as well.
