OMZ DAC


Recommended Posts

I have a 4.0 DAC, and love it. I don't find it too bright, could be system dependencies or interactions.

At list price, there's a heck of a lot more competition these days. But used, around the $400-450 mark, it's pretty tough to beat IMO. Detail/resolution, spacious sounding, extended highs (again, not too bright IMO though) are strengths. Deep quality bass is the main weakness.

I haven't heard the Buffalo DAC except for a brief listening in an unfamiliar system. But the ESS DAC's and a good implementation look like they are winners. You'll pay more, maybe up to double what the OMZ costs used. That could be worth it if you have the money.

If not, I don't think the OMZ will disappoint by any means.
