firedog Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I don't really trust Harley's reviews after all his blather about MQA, but it is interesting that he says this sounded better than any DAC he'd ever heard, and not by just a bit. I looked up the website. They make a non-"reference" version of the dac (has the same "correction" tech, but a less extreme power supply) that costs "only" $69,000. It would also be interesting to hear a comparison of the two and see what you get for that extra $100K..... botrytis 1 Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three . Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment

It is quite different than any other Digital item I have ever heard. I have heard almost all of them. I won't try to describe it yet as I want it to play through the weekend and I have a call scheduled with Javier to make sure I know how to get the most out of it. I should have my server in a week or so and right now I am just playing CD. Link to comment

I think most kids could design better. No imagination there at all. I saw it and heard it at AXPONA, I was not impressed at all. There are definitely better and less expensive systems out there.
