yotiao 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2006 ' date='28 Aug 2006, 09:32 PM' post='75942'] How does this compares to the DAC-1? or other DACs that you've heard. SO that we know what we are looking for next time... Anyway, enjoy your purchase and the music! Initial impression, I like it better than the benchmark DAC 1 Sound really promising without burn in. I have only heard modded zhaolu 1.x which I found mellow and warm sounding that I don't like, and the spitfire DAC which is very impressive given the price, Ack! dAck! and the dac 1. Not fair to compare them I suppose. (hint: maybe going to hear the grace m902... ) Yeah, enjoying music the retail price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmk 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) Yotiao, you bought it already or just demo? That's quite a bit of $ to throw on a DAC. Thought you were going for the Lavry? Edited August 29, 2006 by cmk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonq 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2006 I saw the integrated amp version with a built-in USB DAC at the Hifi show; quality is simply superb. Very tempting except that it's beyond my budget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charismatic 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2006 Hi Yotiao, Since you have gotten the DAC, what are you using as the transport for it? With that kind of budget, you could have a lot of choices for a CDP, perhaps a Wadia 302? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
