Quaveda Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 It would be very interesting to hear the Oppo (and other headphones) through the HA-1 vs the BMC PureDac. the BMC isn't as feature packed, but has very interesting technology and is around the same price point. Link to comment
WarriorAnt Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Not sure if this is really a review or just an expanded tech sheet on the unit. Perhaps there will be a part two follow up embracing the sonic qualities of the unit. klaatu barada nikto Link to comment

tranz Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 How much did Oppo pay you to post that marketing brochure here? Link to comment
mayhem13 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 ......too bad it lacks network/streaming abilities. Would have made a nice all in one unit for use with powered monitors if it could access a library. Link to comment
burnspbesq Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 So, for approximately the same price one can get a Lynx Hilo that does substantially all of this AND has a reference-quality analog-to-digital converter. Value proposition? Sorry, I'm not seeing it. Office: MacBook Pro - Audirvana Plus - Resonessence Concero - Cavailli Liquid Carbon - Sennheiser HD 800. Travel/Portable: iPhone 7 or iPad Pro - AudioQuest Dragonfly Red - Audeze SINE or Noble Savant Link to comment
mayhem13 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Doesn't the Hilo retail for $2400? Link to comment

Boris75 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Mark Waldrep compared it to the Benchmark DAC2 on his blog: As for sound quality, several readers have asked me how it stacks up against my Benchmark DAC2 HGC. I can say that I love both but…The Benchmark DAC2 HGC is a reference quality converter and functions as well as a preamplifier. It competes…and wins…against anything at any price, including the Light Harmonic $20K DAC (no kidding). The HA-1 is a notch below the rarefied air that Benchmark and others occupy. But a solid piece none-the-less. Oppo Headphone Amplifier HA-1: Up Close 2 | Real HD-Audio PS: I have no affiliation with Benchmark. I am just an ordinary customer. I bought a DAC2 D a year ago (at the too high price at which it is sold here due to tariffs, VAT and import mark-ups) and am very pleased with it. Link to comment
