It will be nice to finally get the full impact of all them HDtracks downloads on the family room "entertainment center," that I've enjoyed privately in my office PC listening station.Ĭlick to expand. The VDAC was $300 like 7 or 8 years ago - and from what I understand - the affordable/entry-level "hi-end" DAC market has really advanced since then. Mainly, my goal was to retire my old V-DAC 1.0 (capable of only 16/48k). Especially for the "entertaining" family room. But fun and engaging has its benefits too - so I chose that for a change. Analytical has its benefits, and is usually my choice. It was said to be "analytical" compared to the "fun and musical" DF. If the HRT were the same price (or a few bucks cheaper!) I would have gone that route. It looked like the DF 1.2 offered the best bang for the buck - and it looks so cool and sexy, is reliably sturdy and well built. And at $300 I think you can start entertaining some other options, for example those in the affordable desktop-size units. And I don't know if it's "that" much better. And cheaperįrom what I've read, the Meridian is ahead of the above DACs in terms of SQ. According to reviews it's a little "better" and might be more fun-sounding. I like that the HRT had a "line out" in addition to the headphone amp (which made more sense for my application) but I still decided on the DF 1.2. For $150 ($50 cheaper than the HRT) I ordered the DF 1.2 last night. Click to expand.Thanks! This seems to be the trend I'm finding on the internet (though I hadn't considered the Modi) - with the original Dragonfly being bested by the HRT MicroStreamer, and that was bested by the new 1.2 Dragonfly.
