I have recently acquired a Peachtree Nova 150 integrated amp, which contains a 9018K2M SABRE32 DAC. Currently feeding it with an old Chromecast Audio which I will be replacing with a Wiim Pro Plus if Santa is good to me.
My question is, what range/specific DAC models would represent a noticeable improvement over either the 9018K2M in the Peachtree or the TI PCM5121 in the Wiim?
In the interim (and I’ll A/B test once I have the Wiim), any reason to prefer the 9018K2M over the PCM5121 (or the other way around?)
Also, why can’t these things just have normal, reasonable names so I don’t have to copy/paste them from the product website?
