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.
