Did HeadRoom discontinue the Desktop Ultra DAC?

[Knuckledragger]

I can't find it on the HR page, and Google searches aren't turning up much that is useful. It's still pictured in a few of the HR-BUD photos and a PDF of the manual is still online, but that's about it. I did some preliminary searches on head-fi, but I can barely navigate that site these days.

If it's in fact gone, it seems like an odd move to me. The "build your own Max" option of buying a HR-BUD, HR-UDAC and DPS is no longer possible. Not to mention the lack of a top of the line source for the HR power amps + Harbeths. Where's Tyll when you need him?*

*Yes, I realize he's no longer directly affiliated with the company.

[grawk]

directly, indirectly, inconsequentially, none

[elnero]

Tyll's not directly affiliated with Headroom anymore? When did that happen?

[Voltron]

Oh brother. Last year.

[elnero]

The last I remember reading awhile back he was stepping back from the business side to concentrate more on design or something to that effect, is that what's meant by not directly involved.

[grawk]

no, that was a couple years ago. Last year, he left the company completely. So he's not directly involved, not indirectly involved, not tangentially involved, and not philosophically involved. headroom isn't what it used to be, it's now just a place to buy skullcandy.

[Knuckledragger]

Last I heard from him, he had just set up test equipment in his basement and was still doing measurements for HR. That was a while back, however.

[grawk]

ok, so he's a vendor to headroom, so I overstated...

[elnero]

I somehow completely missed that, I guess I'm more than a bit slow.

Knuckledragger, if you're looking for an Ultra DAC let me know, I might have a line on one that may be for sale in the near future.

I've noticed a lot of broken images for gear on HeadRoom lately. They also seem not to be making anything new.

I suspect being a dealer/reseller is easier and more profitable.

Headroom is no longer an innovator.

JP Nums's mug is on the HeadRoom homepage.

That is some scary shit

[grawk]

newguy should sue them for defamation of likeness.

Gotta watch the video! Sounds like someone's rehearsing a really low-rent production of Stomp in the back.
