Michael Lavorgna from AudioStream reviews the DAC-200ts digital to analog converter.
“What I want from any DAC is big, solid, well-defined, rich, and musically engaging sound. I don’t like wimpy overly detailed DACs, or dry emasculated music parading as “accurate”. I want to be able sit back, close my eyes, and get lost in music for as long as I choose for years on end. While I cannot speak to the latter regarding the Cary Audio DAC-200ts, I can speak to everything else and what I say is check, all good.”
“I ran in the review unit for a few months on and off before sitting down to enjoy listening for many more weeks thereafter. I used the DAC-200ts during my review of the Bel Canto REFStream and even gave it some miles with the Auralic Aries as part of its break-in process. Throughout all of this time, yea I even aurally peaked for pleasure during those first few weeks, the Cary DAC delivered the musical goods. Its sound is big, solid, well-defined, rich, and musically engaging. It is fuller sounding than the recently reviewed NAD C 510 (see review), and even out body slams the Auralic Vega.”
