Doh !
I currently stream music from my Vortexbox in Flac files to my Naim 102/HiCap /180 via a Sonus Connect with a Sonlink DAC (Arcam R-link? ) Also use Spotify premium and iTunes. The Sonlink DAC did add some extra definition to the sound, but I was wondering whether upgrading to a Rega DAC would be an improvement.
I have compared my current Sonus set up with my Naim CD5 and there isn't much in it, I would say the CD5 is better but not a lot through my system anyway. I know it is personal taste but with the old Rega DAC's going for around £200 - £250 it may be worth a punt.
The Rega DAC-R's are a bit more expensive so was looking to go with the older model.
Anyone here got a Rega DAC? Is using it with a Sonus streamer worthwhile or do I hold off and go for a better streamer in the end. Not sure what though as I cannot afford a Naim ND5 XS or Linn DS. Only other thought was a second hand Linn Skeaky DS at around £650
Comments appreciated
