New Soekris Audiophile Line DACs

[matthias]

Hi,

did someone listen to one of the new Soekris DACs from the Audiophile Line, the DAC1321, DAC1421 or DAC1541?

Thanks

Well I listened to the flagship 1541 at Munich Audio show. Not the best place and setup to get information on how it sounds. 

It's certainly very smooth and detailed. I am also super curious to know about listening impressions and comparisons with other dacs. 

 

I do believe this line of dac is super interesting.

Hi Simone,

I listened to the 1321 in Munich, interesting would be a comparison to the iDSD micro BL in the same price range.

Maybe others have listened without knowing:

I was asking them if they would add option to run the DAC in NOS mode, bypassing their digital filters. But unfortunately the answer was NO, they don't want to do that. They said that if someone wants to run the DAC in NOS mode, they need to purchase the DIY boards.

I would appreciate to get this option too.
