Guys- Have decided to try DSD recordings- I currently have the Concert Fidelity preamp and DAC which I love- So I just want a DAC to play DSD recordings on my sound science diamond music server- Without spending a fortune which DAC do you recommend for DSD recordings only= thanks so much for your advice- gary
Mytek is good DSD. But it must be used without internal preamp. So good for you as you have a preamp. You can it used as well. Felt the preamp model. It is not good for PCM in its horrible to my ears. Now top tier is the lampizator DSD. But it is three times that of a mytek . I own the mytek and a msb stack the DSD is good. Hope this helps .

I have heard the level 5/5 and have on order the level 7 . I will do a shoot out with the msb , lampizator and direct stream soon. I do expect them all to be very close as msb and lampizator but the direct might last. Not sure about the sorest stream as I have not heard one. I think the mytek is good and could be better but no DSD on other inputs so I cannot try my off ramp or AP1/PP. And PCM it's just nit for me .
I know Norman and he has very good ears and he turned me on to the lampizator sound.
And I am hooked for sure. It is a true analog sounding DAC .

That's what I am getting the one box Jammie. New tubes as well. And I have a pair of tubes that are very rare as well . But first I want to hear it as is. I got it with all the goodies. Metal box too all black.

Hello we have the same DAC hahaha. Mine is a plus and galaxy clock with a diamond psu. Also I have a umt plus and the dual signature trans port . My only issue is no DSD 128 over network. It only goes to dsd64. So CPU and DSD over dop .

How do you like its DSD ?

Vince from msb told me the better clock is heard on more complex music like classical . But I would not say ifs better.
It is just my thoughts but I think DSD is easier to sound great with a DAC . Where PCM is complex , just my thoughts.
Now what our dacs do for PCM is magic .
