luvdunhill Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I saw that but I am frankly impatient and suck at writing reviews. Dew eet! I'll write the review for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless1 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 The Neko is a nice DAC. I think Wes offers a 30 day money back guarantee. Buy it, use it ...well, you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Since we are talking about DACs, I have been thinking of upgrading the the Pico DAC on my desktop rig (Mac Mini -> Pico DAC -> GS-1. It will need to have a small footprint. I have been going back and forth between the two. Has anyone heard all three? Rega, Neko, Pico? Probably not but I thought I would give it a go. Edit: Oops, I guess the last post in this thread was in January... maybe I should have posted elsewhere. Shelly, do you have (or did you have at some point) an Electrocompaniet ECD-1?

shellylh Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I do still have the ECD-1. The problem is that it is hooked up to the WA5LE and KGSS and is about 10 feet from my desk where I have the GS-1. (I usually don't leave this setup plugged in because of the lightning storms here.) I think I will do the rational thing and sign up for the loaner program (assuming it is not too late). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recstar24 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Thinking about downsizing and going the Wireless streamer to dac route. Wondering if anyone had other comments to add on SQ as functionally being a cheap balanced dac is pretty much what I am looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Threadjack... Eastern Electric Announces MiniMax DAC Plus Update http://ow.ly/1tUTXe Depending on price, this could be interesting. Maybe knock existing model cheaper.

Hopstretch Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Getting USB DAC urges again. Some cool-looking stuff on the way. http://www.playbackdesigns.com/mpd3.html http://www.meitner.com/beta/index.html http://resonessencelabs.com/ (PS: That last one, no idea if they're blowing smoke or not about their unit, but that's a fucking user manual right there. At least 30 pages of measurements and various digressions on audio engineering theory and practice.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yes. But I've had it for, like, ages and the harmonicules are almost all used up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 What does this do to your urges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yes. But I've had it for, like, ages and the harmonicules are almost all used up.Dibs! (If I can afford it, which I probably can't.) So I should probably just say, "want." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livewire Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 That $4K Invicta Sabre DAC is impressive but their comparing it in some odd way to a 1935 tube radio from another company is lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 don't you, uh, have a really nice USB DAC? He caught Monkey Disease in Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bond Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Is there a rule to which DAC I can share? I'm going to introduce tube DAC out of China from company that made all the gear for a high end German brand. It's the Doge 7 company doesn't over produce they have four items. The DAC is pretty amazing design is superclean and doesn't waste real estate. The builder is a pure analogue engineer so he had to work with a company to do the digital side. There's more to the build then I could share. It's $2k with tubes or you can save and get your own. This is my favorite DAC out of many I have owned. biggest is the Dynamics and fullness that other DACs did not have do side by side comparison. It also has a headphone section. It's not analytical or sterile. You get a warm lively sound with girth. No roll off in the treble. I was worried that it didn't use the latest ess chip but surprised that there is no sheen that many have complained about older ess chips. I choose tube over others because I hear a more natural sound vs what many will call a DAC to digital. In that part I was never bothered by digital going from tapes to cd was a big change in my younger years. website www.doge.audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
