synapse Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 that's a very attractive looking piece of kit....technically and aesthetically......i believe the 'junior' dac will come in around £800.....any guesses for the reference version Link to comment
I. G. Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hmmm, $400-450 is closer... ? MBP ? M2Tech hiFace ? Heed Q-PSU/Dactilus 2 ? Heed CanAmp ? Sennheiser HD650 Link to comment
Audio_ELF Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I.G. Are you saying you think the M2Tech DAC is only worth $400-450 (though as they are Italian IIRC would be € not $) or you have information that that is what price it will be? Eloise PS. Posted at HiFi Wigwam by Coops / Keith, confirming the details of the Evo posted above (edited for clarity and readability)... USB - S/PDIF converter based on the same technology as the HiFace but with many improvements: Aluminium case 105x100x 45mm,input for external supply (7 to 11VDC);input for external Master Clock (BNC with transformer);2 x S/PDIF outputs (RCA and 75 Ohms BNC);AES/EBU output with XLR connector and settable format (consumer and professional) by an internal jumper;TOSlink output;ST output;direct I2S output with 3.3V interface. All outputs (except I2S) are transformer-decoupled to avoid ground noise and EMI interference. Three LEDs indicate power, data stream in input and external clock presence. Estimated price, inc. VAT is Euros £300, delivery hopefully July. Keith if you're here - is that €300 (euros) or £300 (GB pounds) - not that there's much difference now. Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
I. G. Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 You've answered your own question... ? MBP ? M2Tech hiFace ? Heed Q-PSU/Dactilus 2 ? Heed CanAmp ? Sennheiser HD650 Link to comment
Audio_ELF Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 @I.G. Then with all due respect you should read 'synapse's post more carefully ... he said the 'junior' DAC will be around £800, no comment on the price for the Evo.

kamil Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Anybody know if "ST Output" means ST Glass Fibre Optical Out as in AT&T used by Wadia, EMM Labs? If so, wow! Kamil Link to comment
Purite Audio Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I believe so Kamil, but I will check, price will be Euros 300, hopefully a good deal less than £300! Keith. Link to comment
