Extensive review by Head-Fi member overlunge here
Thread comparing it favorably to a Wadia 301 here.
There are also many reviews available online.
This is the last version before the release of 2.0. Many dAck! fans still consider the 1.0 series to be the definitive version because the midrange is better than the 2.0.
I sent this to Ack! Industries for a new battery about 3 months ago and they updated my original 1.2d to a 1.2e with the latest circuit updates. This includes updates made even after the release of the 2.0.
This DAC was designed to sound like vinyl. It uses a non-oversampling digital filterless design with a sealed lead acid battery providing the power. The use of a battery allows this DAC to run on the cleanest power possible by running "off the grid". As a result, you get the quietest and blackest background imaginable. This is very important for the highest quality playback. You also won't need to worry about a dirty AC line or spending money on an expensive power conditioner to get it to sound its best.
The dAck! uses high quality parts like Auricap capacitors and Caddock resistors. Most DACs in this price range sound too digital/harsh/edgy, which can be very fatiguing over long listening sessions, particularly with headphones. The Ack! dAck! sounds so natural and organic - like what real music should sound like.
As you can see the condition is excellent. In addition to sounding great, the DAC looks beautiful.
The dAck! is SOLD
