matthias Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Interesting will be a comparison to the Allo Katana DAC which will be launched in about two months: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/vendor-s-bazaar/310338-dac-allo-ess9028q2m-rpi.html Matt franz159 1 "I want to know why the musicians are on stage, not where".

matthias Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 @orchardaudio It would be nice if you show the THD+N in dB values like the other specs. The THD+N of your DAC is 106dB, certainly not a top value. Matt "I want to know why the musicians are on stage, not where". (John Farlowe) Link to comment
matthias Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 16 minutes ago, orchardaudio said: Which DAC are you referring to? The Katana so far is better than 106dB THD+N. The distortions and noise of your DAC are 22dB higher than the SNR so they might be audible in some cases. Matt "I want to know why the musicians are on stage, not where".

Please have a look at the diyaudio link I posted above. Matt "I want to know why the musicians are on stage, not where". (John Farlowe) Link to comment

Also their price will be $250 based on some of the other posts. No advertising so far. But if you wonder what they are hiding, I wonder what you are hiding. The price is for a three board stack.

I am referring to Allo Katana, not audiophonics. I have no affiliation to Allo, just like what they are doing. Matt "I want to know why the musicians are on stage, not where".

matthias Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 6 minutes ago, orchardaudio said: Ok, but I am pretty sure that audiophonics is did not make up specs for an Allo product they are selling. Confusing. The 9028 DAC is an audiophonics design which they combine with an Allo Kali reclocker. The upcoming Allo Katana DAC is based on the 9038Q2M and not yet launched.

matthias Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 1 hour ago, orchardaudio said: Also you make a typo 111dB is not 0.00003% it is 0.0003%. You see it makes sense to show the values as dB and no as %. :-) Matt "I want to know why the musicians are on stage, not where". (John Farlowe) Link to comment
