Casea Cepheus mk2

Casea released new DAC. Heart of this converter is very favorite DAC Sirius 2 well known as upgrade modul for cheaper CD players. Construction is around 2 x AD1955 (dual mono connection), brand components, perfect design of DSD, gold plated solder points etc..

 

Also Casea is preparing extension for their new DAC's, it means clock synchronization for the sound card in computer.
For example cheap quality sound card ESI Juli@ will be ideal as transport and for laptops/Mac Hiface Evo.

 

They are also preparing english website for overseas customers, prices in €, sale via PayPal. 

 

Casea is excellent small company here unknown unfortunately and people should know about them. It will be interesting when someone will be able to compare it someday with popular DAC's here like Berkley Alpha etc. This is not just another commercial DAC. I was very impressed when I have heard modified CD player with Sirius 2. Will be very hard to find better DAC around this price.

Synchro clocks is out. Masterclock is next to both chips AD1955. If you have proper soundcards like ESI Juli@, Quartet Duo, Lynx etc or something external with world clock output. Then Cepheus mk2 with synchro clocks is perfect solution.. Shame that Casea website is not in english language, hopefully in future.

Guys no discussion, why? It is shame! Honestly this is probably only one mention dac HERE which goes the right way technically.
 

edit: Another news what I have heard it will have switching FS and quality preamp in future.

And here is the diy Sirius Synchro (transformator etc. is by CustomWorks on the left). This member had Twisted Pear Buffalo32 before Sirius Synchro and he sold Buffalo32 easily because wasn't completely happy.

Lack of information in English on the website is probably the main problem here.

Some news if sombody interested. They released new dac by name Casea Orion Lite which costs $2,5K. Quite expensive but one man on our forums sold his Accuphase DP-510 because of Orion Lite, it is interesting. They are preparing also full version of the Orion and it will be around $5K. Still hope their websites will be one day in English and with news.
