Dusty Chalk Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 link Disappointed in the lack of 1x, but I have to admit, I like the price point. It's within what I can recommend to muggles, I would just like to know if it's any good, first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Well it's a NuForce, so my guess would be no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Well it's a NuForce, so my guess would be no. Well, if it's better than their Icon mobile that would be a plus. Some of their higher end stuff is pretty good - the CDP-8 is a fantastic sounding CD player, and I mean it's quite good and beat my Apogee mini-DAC when compared side by side as a source. And the DAC-100/HAP-100 are an excellent match for driving the picky HD800. The HAP-100 by itself is very competitive with my Maxed Woo WA6 and upgraded tubes, which cost 2x as much. Their iDo is a good iPod > COAX S/PDIF converter, and it's RCA output from the built-in DAC is still pretty decent (although the built-in headphone amp is not nearly as good). Their new STA-100 speaker amp is pretty nice too, and I'll be reporting on that one in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yeah I was going to say I liked everything I've heard by them, but the cheapest thing I've heard by them was their headphones -- and honestly, it didn't strike my pewter ears as that much less bad than the AKG K550's. So I may have only heard their higher end stuff. I still may try it unless I hear a convincing argument not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
