My preference is for the Zana Deux SE with most dynamics I own. The exception to this would be the HE-6 and K1000, which sound better with the Beta 22 imo. The KGSS and SRM-717 in turn are what I use for my 'stats, the former delivering a more analytic and drier sound while the latter is more musical and slightly darker in presentation.

 

I've found all of these combinations work well with the DAC-1000. The good thing about a source that is closer to the neutral side of things is that it can get out of the way enough to let the synergy be more of an issue between the amp and headphones. At least, that's the theory.

If I have 230V at home and get a device with 100V, I need a step down transformer to go down from 230V in my socket to 100V on the device.

So the step down would be like an adapter for the dac?

Like an adapter, but a bit more complicated.

A bump hoping that more people will chime in.

Does anyone know if you can change the output dB or is it set to a level?  Anyone know that level?  I cannot find any specifics. Also, has anyone heard if it will be released outside of Japan soon?

 

 

Edit looks like it outputs 2.0 V(rms) and 4.0 V(rms).

 

RCA：2.0 V（rms）/330Ω
XLR：4.0 V（rms）/660Ω

I've had my eye on the DAC-1000 for a while and finally broke down and picked one up.  The build quality is quite impressive.  You can see they paid a lot of attention to vibration control.  It still needs a little more break-in but I like what I'm hearing so far.  Unfortunately I won't be able to give any useful comparisons as I only have a MS2 and a couple oddball, modded sources.

Outputs are fixed.  The only options are for upsampling (2x, 4x, off) and auto-standby mode.  I don't think there are any plans to release it outside of Japan.  They were going to import it to Europe but the UK distributor is showing it as discontinued on their info page.  However, the guts are used in the P-3000R preamp (sans balanced outs) which is sold here.

This thing would look stunning in black, is it 100% certain it won't be going anywhere but japan ?

$697 AUD + $82 AUD shipping...

 

For $800 this is quite a decent DAC, according to specs only ofc.
