ferenc Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 A new DAC is coming form Rupert Neve. He is one of the best known designers in pro audio, and starting a venture in Hi-Fi now. https://fidelice.com Link to comment
George Hincapie Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Just what we need. Another DAC. The sector is so unsupported. I just rolled my eyes out loud. Sorry OP. Link to comment

Wonder if a 'DSD Direct' mode is possible. Can't see a user manual just yet. Link to comment
audio.bill Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Any idea on its price? (No mention of it on the site) "The Precision DAC will be shipping at the end of September 2019." Link to comment

ferenc Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 The headphone is less than 600 Euro. So not a fortune. I hope the DAC will be similarly well priced, let us say less than 3000 Euro including VAT. If there is anybody to build the preamp and analog part right, it is probably Rupert Neve. Connect it to a 3 way active speaker like ATC, Quested, Neumann, or Manger, etc and you can have a very straightforward, high quality but simple system. Link to comment

Although I tend to agree that they ought to be up to the task on the analog side, IME the digital side is just as important. I'll be curious to see how the reports come in. asdf1000 1 Forrest: Win10 i9 9900KS/GTX1060 HQPlayer4>Win10 NAA DSD>Pavel's DSC2.6>Bent Audio TAP> Parasound JC1>"Naked" Quad ESL63/Tannoy PS350B subs<100Hz Link to comment
