I'm very happy with my 151. Great bass and a warm musical sound so far..
Well, IMHO it should be about 200 hours until everything settles down to a point of relatively few changes. Just use it as you would normally and it will eventually run its course.

Maniac, is the DA-151 a "usb-direct-I2S" DAC?

Hello, it is using PCM2702's internal DAC, the receiver itself is also the DAC, and thus there's no need to send the digital signal outside of the chip.


Thanks.

postponed the pico purchase due to some financial situation, and placed an order for da-151.
the waiting game sucks but i am extremely excited.
i was quite happy with a cheap usb dac(diyeden svdac04) before, and i cant wait to try da-151. guessing from what i've read on this thread, i think i made a good decision.

Congrats on the purchase. You will not be disappointed. I ordered mine 2 weeks ago and have been enjoying it immensely. Shipping didn't take long either I was surprised how fast international mail can be delivered.

I am very interested in your opinion of the Keces as compared to the Super Pro DAC 707. These are two newer lowish-cost DAC's ($250 vs $109) that have recently come out and very few people have heard more than one so as to be able to compare them. When you have had a chance to listen to the Keces, please let us know how they compare.
Thanks!

i havent received my da-151 yet (should be arriving today or tomorrow) but i think it'll be many times better than the super pro dac 707 usb.
i prevoulsy had the super pro which i paid about $100. it did its job alright but it was no match for diyeden SVDAC04 usb($159) which is not really a high-end dac either. from what i've read and heard, da-151 is on another level from those two. i've been without a dac for almost a month and i cant wait to get my hands on the da-151.

Can anyone provide the dimensions of this unit? Maniac? You might want to add the measurements to your marketing material.

Without breaking out a ruler, it's like 8 inches x 8 inches, and about 3 inches tall not counting the feet (the unit itself).
