TDX Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Hahaha, love this one. However, characters you choose are from Japan and USA, wrong country for the DAC Edited April 7, 2021 by TDX 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Marc Posted April 7, 2021 Administrator Share Posted April 7, 2021 Me either, I just felt he should get a spot in the limelight too (was always my favourite character at the local Video Ezy "pinnies"). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godot Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I really would love to listen to your dac off, I’m sure it would be amazing. So much good stuff out there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted April 7, 2021 Administrator Share Posted April 7, 2021 It's a great shoot out no doubt. Having spent time with both I would own (and have) either of them. Would love to see the EMM Labs MA3 in that mix too for the ultimate shootout! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Prowse Hi-Fi Posted August 24, 2023 Author Share Posted August 24, 2023 This young pup has entered the arena at a considerably lower price than the other two. His win/loss ratio is exceptional and in-store auditions have been very favourable... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it's the split board PCM and DSD that makes it so magical , Mark and Dave how do you find it compares to your higher level dacs instore. Seems to take it to the Dave, the TT plus, the Holo KTE ,even DCS Lina. Incredible package for the price. The pre amp is the weak link if anything according to a couple of reviews.

From a price vs performance it's hard to beat against the others. We will probably do a proper write up in the next few weeks, but that's usually a good sign of being very impressed with a product. Beautiful (warm, but not too warm) sound with a little more "meat on the bones" in the lower end. Conversely, some might say less technically accurate than the others. Ultimately, a different flavour, but, if there is such a thing as a bargain in high-end hifi, this would be it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
