I am looking for people’s experience and opinions between these two dacs. I am loving the sound of an APS version 1 mod mk1 but I have had it with the need for reboot every day but when I reboot WOW! ChatGPT claims that the modded APS Mk1may actually sound a bit better but that the APS modded Mk2 may sound very close to the Mk1 but with better reliability. Google AI claims the Mk2 the better sounding dac. I’m getting a modded Mk2 in a week or two and have already found a new home for my Mk1 but I am curious of people’s experience with both these dacs
.
I must say that I have heard only excellent things about the Mk2 especially modded but the modded mk1 definitely does have its followers. The fact that mine needs frequent reboots has been bugging me for years so time for a new dac. I found a modded Mk2 in my colour at a good price so I went for it. I am actually excited.
