No, but I asked since I have seen you use or used Klangedang speakers in your set-up and these are often used together with Lejonklou.No but I guess you have bought a Källa?

I was just saying to someone this morning, there are 3 DACs in all the years we have owned the Zanden 4-box digital that I would like to hear:The best DAC at any price maybe the $250k Audio Note DAC
Best bang for the buck DAC might be the Aqua La Scala together with a Aqua LinQ
Getting the best sound from your system starts at the DAC period !
Go visit AN in Brighton. I'm sure you could hear a 5th element/force if you give enough notice?I was just saying to someone this morning, there are 3 DACs in all the years we have owned the Zanden 4-box digital that I would like to hear:
- Wadax Atlantis Ref DAC
- Audio Note DAC 5th Element & 5th Force
- Zanden Seikoh (not released yet)
Have you heard the Audio Note DAC 5th Element/5th Force? Presume at 250K, that is the one you are referring to? By any chance, have you heard the Wadax? Any listening notes would be most welcome!
Great Dac, and it sounds even better with proper placement/setup. Footers like SSC Netpoint mk2 makes a big difference in my system"The Merason DAC-1 is a serious contender for best DAC at any price"

Hi Steve,One of the most viewed and posted to forums here at WBF is the DAC Forum. Recently there have been a lot of new threads asking about what is the best DAC, the Best PCM DAC, Best NOS DAC, Best Asymmetric DAC, Best DSD DAC etc
This lead me to thinking, wouldn't it be nice if we could get a consensus from members as to what they consider the world's best DAC's. Do these need to cost a king's ransom or can they be bought on a tight budget.
There is no right or wrong answer. In fact I would hope everyone will put up a list of their 10 best DAC's. After the thread has run it's course then I would like to go back and collate the results and then amend the OP with everyone's top 10. Those listed below are in no particular order or preference
1 Personally I have used the Playback Designs MPS-5 and I can access the DAC via the proprietary USB-X to play HiRez PCM up to 24/384 and 2X DSD. I am very happy with this and have no plans on changing.
2.TotalDAC
3.BADAC2
4.Trinity DAC
5. Lampizator
6.CH Precision C1
7.MSB Diamond
8.dCS
9. Weiss Medea
10. AudioNote DAC5
So what would everyone else list as the top 10 DAC's
When done we should be able to put up the opinions of members here. My 10 above are only 10. I'm sure we will get a he diversity of opinion but out of it perhaps we might get our top 10
