COS D10 all-in-one DAC

[Perfect sense]

We've got the D10 on its way here in Stockholm, Sweden within the upcoming week. I'll be happy to report back as soon I've got some time to get to know the unit in full.

I've got the Lindemann Source, COS D10, Mola Mola Tambaqui + Makua and Rockna Wavelight amongst others here within this segment. All of them offers digital (and analogue - except for the Tambaqui) inputs with a high quality output stage and volume control. That's a start in terms of features. The next step is to consider system matchning, personal preferences and of course budget as these stretch from approx. €5.000 - €15.000.

The Rockna Wavelight DAC is wonderful and what I believe to be a bargain at the price point. It's very different from the Mola Mola offerings though in terms of sound characteristics.

BTW, will you you be stocking COS D10 at all?
It would be great to see how it fairs with all the DACs you have and hear your own personal comments too.

 

COS is already a permanent part of our portfolio and offering here within this segment. The D10 is a very impressive, versatile and flexible unit. As for the sound quality and characteristics, I need some more time to get a clear sense of everything.

Do you have any comments/thoughts to share on COS D10? Thanks.

Not yet as the first units are constantly on client home loan here :) I need more time with the D10 basically.

That's a good sign then, they seem very popular. :)

 

Yes - this is indeed a popular new product with a lot to offer in terms of sound quality and flexibility.

That's good to know!

By any chance, do happen to also compare the D1 to other DACs like Tambaqui and DAVE? 

These products are very different and not really comparable but also double the price compared to the COS D10.

 

Chord DAVE is primarily a DAC with headphone output where Mola Mola Tambaqui is primarily a DAC with streaming and headphone output. COS D10 is a preamp (with analogue inputs) with DAC + streamer and RIAA option at half the price.
