aardvark baguette Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 So has anyone heard this goddamn thing yet? Doesn't seem to be much out there about it except the usual oohs and aahs. Quote
knopi Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 Not yet but I guess one of the best dac if not the best Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 Oh-ah...er...uh...um... (...means "I love you"...) Quote
Hopstretch Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 No worries, Dinny will buy one soon enough. Quote
penger Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Is that the monkey sound for "I'm going to get this next week"? Quote
The Monkey Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Probably not. This thing is what, a million dollars? Quote
atothex Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Proprietary DAC chips sound pretty expensive, but what do I know? Alas, the SOTA still don't have word clock or asynchronus USB. Or even hi rez through USB. Almost as if quality and practicality are mutually exclusive... Quote
Iron_Dreamer Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Is that the monkey sound for "I'm going to get this next week"? Quote
spritzer Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Probably not. This thing is what, a million dollars? So... it's about time to sell your body on the streets for some MOAR DACS?? Quote
aardvark baguette Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Posted August 4, 2009 I can really see myself getting one if I don't end up finding a decent house this year. Or if closing costs are cheaper than expected. This no high-end-audio thing is killing me. Quote
aardvark baguette Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Posted August 4, 2009 But thats like, even more monies. Then again.... Quote
Dreadhead Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Two words. Stahltek Vekian. I guess I'm not entirely "over audio". That one made me drool..... Quote
Sherwood Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 I'm going to bypass the DAC altogether and learn to listen to unconverted digital. Quote
Icarium Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 What's cool about the Stahltek Vekian? Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 ...designed to blur the line between digital and analog sound reproduction... Quote
Dreadhead Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 What's cool about the Stahltek Vekian? The casework. After visiting their site the urge passed entirely Quote
The Monkey Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 I'm going to bypass the DAC altogether and learn to listen to unconverted digital. Beep Boop Beep. Quote
Sherwood Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Beep Boop Beep. Yeah, man. Groooovy. Quote
aardvark baguette Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Posted August 4, 2009 So I checked the Stahl Tek site again, and the 6 moons stuff. I thought I remembered it being $14,000, but $20,000 is definitely not happening. I've never had that much discretionary money in an account in my life. Maybe I read that $14,000 was the street price or some such. I dunno. Quote
atothex Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 If the difference between $20k and $14k is the difference between no and maybe, then you're a much bigger baller than I. Quote
