Rock on OCN brother.


Been waiting for more info and closure before updating the uber club thread bro.

Was talking with the DAC designer most of last night via email and he was stoked to find that my current DAC was among the first they built.

It has 2.2uf output caps where most other models have 1.5uf or 2.0uf main output caps (he seems a bit insecure that the larger caps produce too much bass ... but honestly ... I find it perfect and not at all unnatural; then again, the RS1's are not bass monsters by any stretch).

It also has a seldom used OPAMP which he said was the giveaway that it was some of their earlier work.

...

Totally curious to see if the 4562 opamp rubs me the wrong or right way.

I'll be posting here (and at the uber 37173 club thread!) in a few weeks.

( BTW: Our computers are faster than yours. )

(When you getting your SLAM!, mang? Hit me back at OCN)
