Nice! I like the design. So roundish. Wow that kind of price, I can go for a full custom spec John Parris snooker cue.

QUOTE ' 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 <S$4,000 available in Sound Decisions@adelphi. -------------------- |

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? This post has been edited by cmk: 29 Aug 2006, 11:19 AM -------------------- My setup

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.

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? |
