Jolida DAC or HRT Streamer DAC?

chgolatin2 · « **on:** 3 Feb 2010, 04:51 pm »

Having a hard time to decide as to which DAC would work best, perform better etc. My budget is at under $300 for one however the Jolida and HRT seem to strike a nice balance on the cheap and cheerful side. Any advise?

Thanks

Not sure what your input requirements are but have you checked out the Nuforce uDAC?

I have one in my office setup and it performs very well.

Just as a heads up if you decide on the HRT Music Streamer... check NHT's website for a good deal on it.

In this price range you should also consider the Beresford 7520. A solid performer that has a nice headphone amp, multiple digital inputs, and a volume control.

This DAC is awesome, sounds very good for the price! However it has one minor drawback its for a PC audio set up

As you can see I clearly supported my country by serving two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and serving 16 yrs in the Military so yeah I support my country very well and lastly, Jolida is an American Company. Get your facts straight and your points clear and if you have something to say you can contact me directly.

I have 2 purple hearts to show my love for my country, what do you have to show Sir?!!!

Cool and thanks for sharing your Jolida DAC experiences with rest of us.
I did consider Jolida DAC at one point but as it offten happens in live, things changed and it turns out I won't need the USB DAC in my small rig.

Cool Mariusz, this is my first experience with "ANY" DAC but basically speaking it does makes a difference. Thanks again!
