jp11801 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I had the ULN-2, which was a nice-sounding DAC in the ways many AKM-based DACs are, but not very resolving whatever digital input or converter I used. I've always wondered if the ULN-8 or LIO-8 were any better. I've owned the unl - 2 and uln - 8 and the 8 was significantly better. That said I have a yggy in the system now for 2 weeks and love it. I need to perform a comparison in the next few weeks. That said even if the yggy is better (and I think it might be) the metric halo functioned for me as a dac and my phono pre amp and for the money nothing touched it in either category for me for 5+ years.

jp11801 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 using the schiit MJ2 as my headphone amp and pre amp driving genetic 8050 powered monitors. That said the MH as a DAC, phono pre amp and system pre amp is stupid good for the $$. Link to comment
jp11801 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 anyone here that still has the Metric Halo ULN 8 or LIO 8 try it with the new 3d card? I am running this via ethernet to a Mac mini running Roon and to my ears the results are stunning. Would love to hear other opinions. Link to comment
