Mani,
a month or so ago you posted a question at this site asking how possible to use Pacific as the ONLY DAC in playback. Sine at that time you deal with Pacific was pending we decided to remove the post in order do not create unnecessary agitations. Your joinery with Pacific re-ignited my interest to the DAC portion of Pacific processor and now, after a round of different experiments and listening evaluations I can say that you were right with the idea: Pacific might be quite effectively used as the only DAC.
I never paid too much attention to the Pacific’s DAC but for the last couple week I run it all time and I find it very much usable. I find it very covenant to run analog source and then be able to switch the source signal passing across Pacific A/D-D/A where both D/A and DAW run from the same Pacific’s A/D clock. In fact it is so convenient that I asked myself if it worth for me to run Pacific from my Preamp outputs and just save to my DAW some of my most precious LPs and Tapes.
Anyhow, it looks that after my recent leanings about the way to use the Pacific Microsonics DAC section it turn out to be very much noble DAC to use. I do not get rid of my reference 16Bit DAC (Bidat) and my reference 88/24 DAC (Lavry Gold++) but if someone would do it then I recognize it reasonable as Pacific do deliver very serious quality that is “good enough” to have Pacific as the only DAC. It is funny that after a couple of years of use Pacific I “discovered” a great DAC…that has been living in my home for a while.
