Emotiva Stealth DC-1

[blessingx]

Don't see much coverage around since it was released a few days ago, but the price is right for a lot of uses. Anyone heard anything pro/con?

I saw its existence, that's about all I can say.  If I had the dosh, it'd be worth trying.

What if you were Batman? 

[Dusty Chalk]

Batman does not listen to music, much less on headphones -- it would prevent him from hearing Alfred sneaking up on him.

First look: not very stealth, those flat faces and lots of nooks and crannies will make it stand out with radar.

 

Sexy though...

[Dusty Chalk]

Lollers, that's particularly funneh coming from you.

Looks pretty nice.  I probably would've tried one out for use on the desktop but now that I have the DAC2, I am content.

Shelly, you got a Benchmark DAC2?  Tell me more.

 

 

And this Emotiva DAC has my interest, of course.

Yes tell us more about the DAC2 please.

[shellylh]

Yes, the Benchmark DAC2.  I probably should have stated that since there are probably a large number of DACs called "DAC2".  

 

It is small and black and sounds good and plays hi-res stuffs.  I like it. 

 

Haven't done any comparisons with the PWD mkii.  I think I may slightly prefer the PWD mkii but not positive.  More science is needed.

Science is good!

I ended up picking up a DA11 at the same price as the stealth, which was my second choice. I believe the stealth uses two AD1955's if I'm not mistaken, same chip in the DA11. Curious to see how the implementation differs.

I can't find shit on this anywhere but Emotiva's own forums. And even then, it's mostly getting compared to just the XDA-2. At least people seem to think it's worth the extra $$$.
