New Crack/Speedball builder here and absolutely loving this thing
Impatiently waiting for my Tung-Sol JAN-5998. Going to grab some new output caps and pot too.
I'm currently using an old Denon receiver as my DAC, which is surprisingly ok so far. I know the Crack deserves a much better DAC, so I've narrowed down my options to:
- Halide HD DAC
- Schitt Bifrost with upgrades
- Asus Xonar Essence One (watching a local one on Ebay that's going for cheap)
- Waiting for Bottlehead DAC
The convenience of the Halide is certainly appealing. My aim here is best bang-for-buck, just like the Crack.
