In the newest issue of TAS Paul Seydor said that "I'll put my DAC1 up against any DAC on the planet"
 This comment was made at the add on of his review of the NAD C326BEE and NAD C545BEE. All I got to say is that's a WOW!!!. The whole planet!!. Is it that good???

Well, I had one and it is good. I enjoyed it when I had it.
I sold it after 4 months.
Best on the planet? I don't think soooo. Only you can determine what is best in your system. The DAC 1  has gotten rave reviews for sometime now. You also can find them used as many as 5 at a time on Audiogon. They must have sold a ton of them.

Try one used, you can always sell it for what you paid for it.

I do like my Raysonic 128 in NOS mode better.
This replaced the DAC1.

Every system is different.  I've got two (what I think are) really nice DACs.  One is a custom modified (by TRL) Audio Mirror DAC 1 Signature and the other is an Exemplar Audio tube DAC.  Both are non-OS, however one is tube and the other is SS.

There are times when my system is configured so that a tube DAC works better and there are times when my system is configured so that a SS DAC works better.
