DAC swap for few days ???

Post by kosa »

Hello,
I've bought rega dac few days ago. I don't hear significant sound improvement in my system (sqeezebox touch, icon audio st50, mission 754f5). I would like to try other dacs - M1 dac or rDac. Is someone in Dublin area who would like to swap dacs for a few days for trial?
Thanks

123sk321: Thanks for help. I've already borrow rdac. I still have this same problem - no sound difference on valve amp when switching between dac and squeezebox. There is the sound improvement on home cinema receiver btw. maybe I'm just deaf?
Have sameone compared squeezebox touch and external dac sound in valve amps?
