Hello, i have one question maybe you can tell me what dac willbe better. I have wiim ultra connected to amp magnat ma 600. And question is what dac to choose
 
Are you asking which is better between the DAC in the Ultra or the DAC in your amp?

Only you can truly decide on that - try both and see which you prefer rather than relying on the opinion of a random stranger on the internet whose kit, speakers, room acoustics, preferences, ears and brain will differ from yours :)
 
I recently picked up a Fosi ZD3 on sale for $150 at Amazon. I thought it to be a decent DAC until I swapped its wall wort for an Astron linear regulated power supply ( lower left ). With the linear it now performs at a much higher level preferable to my SU-9. 12V linear PSU's aren't expensive as the Pyramids can be had for a little over $40. I use the ZD3 with a Pro+ or a Node and the internal DAC in either doesn't come close. DAC's that take a 12V PSU include the ZD3, FiiO K11 R2R and Geshelli Labs.

Other factors for me in choosing the Fosi DAC are it's remote, upgradable op amps and multiple inputs including an ARC HDMI, rare in entry level DACs.
