soon I’ll be in need for a new DAC. My Amp is an Asgard 3 and for Headphones I use Sundara, DT 770 Pro and HD 660s.
An audio interface would be convinend to use as a DAC (Line out connected to the Asgard 3, so I won’t use the interfaces headphone AMP) since I plan to do some recording later. What I am just worried about is, weither the DAC in an interface like the Scarlett Solo is gonna be able to hold up with something like a Modi 3.
Has anyone done comparisons between those units or similar ones and can tell me how big the diffrences actually are?
The scarlett solo should use a cirrus logic CS4272, i had the 2i2 that used the same or similar chip and compared to others entry level dacs is pretty close and will be good enoght as dac if you need an interface with a mic preamp, an entry level dac with akm or ess will be better but not that much to justify the extra cost
