Gieseler Audio 1,909 Posted March 8, 2016 Hi Matt, no this is just a straight DAC but we will be following it up shorty with a larger version. It will have a high quality class A buffered variable line out & probably additional digital inputs. Perfect to connect directly to a power amp. The original plan was going to be a DAC/Pre with analogue inputs as well but I think extra digital inputs is a better way to go. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blybo 3,542 Posted March 8, 2016 The original plan was going to be a DAC/Pre with analogue inputs as well but I think extra digital inputs is a better way to go. Lots of us have turntables! Lack of at least analogue input rules this out for me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gieseler Audio 1,909 Posted March 8, 2016 The analogue inputs could be still be retained as a option when ordering if there was sufficient interest. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Spyne~ 997 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) So this is not the DAC/Pre? (as you know, I'm quite keen for this) Either way, I still very much like this. How does this differ/improve from the original, Clay? Also, any plans to move away from the very '80s on/off toggle?

Gieseler Audio 1,909 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I use the toggle switch because it is soldered directly to the PCB - so no wires The other switches look nice but need to be fastened to the front panel & then require flying wires which is messy & a double process. At the moment everything is on the PCB so it just slides in & then the panels go on. Good for service too so the whole thing just slides out & can be operated/tested/modded without the case. The other option is just eliminate the switch & have remote power on/off. It would mean it would be in standby & using power even when switched off though.

todagt 232 Posted March 8, 2016 Remote on/off with 12v trigger out would be excellent! Nice work Clay 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
