Ayus! Kamusta pala performance nyan as a DAC vs rega dac?
Good thing you asked...
Tumagal pa ang REGA dito ng isang buwan before anoher member bought it. So i did an extensive side by side using Laptop and CD Player as source.. I was thinking kung may difference i would use it as a DAC ng Marantz..
To be honest i really didnt notice any difference, even output of both dac is the same using same source and same material.... I was suppose to keep sana the REGA kung mas lamang sya but i listened for hours and hours comparing both dac pero talagang wala akong ma notice..
There was one time that i was listening to Marantz and thought wow grabe improvement, mas gumanda ang details, bass etc etc... sabi ko baka na break in na.. so i decided to play again same material but this time comparing both Marantz and Rega as DAC... i ended up not hearing again any difference..
ANother comparison is Marantz as player but using external dac vs own dac see below. Result is no difference
Marantz Analog Out -> Pre-amp -> Amp > Speakers
Marantz Digital Out -> Rega DAC -> Pre-amp ->Amp -> Speakers
So basically, wala talaga ako ma notice na difference..So i ended up selling the REGA...
