Extra Info:

Hi all

I am looking for a musical Dac that can be purchased used for little money, maybe around $300-$600.

I am not so interested in accurate or detailed but prefer that my music just sound nice and flow.

Warm is a word often used to describe some components and I guess that is what I am looking for.

A fleshed out, warm, musical, non fatiguing inexpensive dac to listen to music from Tidal or spotify.

 

Thanks

NAD M51?

But it may be a little over your 600 budget

They frequently pop up on the FS forum

Thanks Wizzie

 

That was my last dac and although a good thing, I would like something that actually colours the sound a little more in favour of sweetnes and that bloomy valve sound.

 

Pleasant distortion I guess.

 

I find some inexpensive systems can offer so much when well paired and for me a simple musical low cost system that makes nice noise is all I want.

 

If a nad m51 came up cheap enough I would probably buy it but having just sold one and having a pretty good idea of what I am looking for I would not go looking for one.

Hi Full range

 

I have never heard of this dac but it sounds from your description that it may fit the bill.

 

I sent a PM.

 

In truth the battery aspect, although good for sounds to my understanding, may be a little off the "simple" line I am trying to follow.

 

Cheers

The link at the bottom of the advert is my running review of the actual unit on sale 

I liked it so much that I purchased the same brand of the newer model

I think Rega DAC should fit your requirements. I own one for pretty much the same reasons. It has fuller midrange, and not so extended at the top in my opinion.

There was one on classifieds a couple months ago. Not sure if still available:
