I heard a M2 Vaughan. Sounds very good, not as good as the best analog gear but anyhow.
Now my Question: What is the benefit of a DAC lets say for over 20k? The last 5% or less or just the name?
I am using a Windows 8 with Foobar and Jplay (please do not start any discussion). I do not think that JRiver 19 is better.

In Germany it is impossible to get one of the big DACs for testing
I have used the Monarchy Audio NM24 for 4 years now. I did change the coupling caps though. Mr Poon the designer has finally come out with a 24/96 version. At a list price of 1500 for a combo SS/Tube/DAC I might have to give it a listen. I would not spend big money on a DAC,just because the technology change is on going.
