I'm very happy with the unit, tested it with several different amps and computers (only via USB) and it works perfectly. The sound feels rich and full, the lows are beautiful, and overall I think the unit is well worth the price, it's a shame they don't sell it anymore on ebay, I'm still waiting for its successor to show up for sale.


Thanks for the post. I checked the other day just to see if they had a new model yet, but it appears they do not. There are several other DAC kits but nothing in a finished state like this one.

Sorry, the only Audio GD I have experience with is the Reference 7, which obviously is not a fair comparison.

Hi everybody, I note the dac is for sale currently on e.bay but dosen't say it is a MK3 version, it appears to be identical to the one reviewed here, am in the market for a dac in this bracket, is their anything new about the Lars on sale, considering this one and the Yulong D 100, any thoughts, anything else worthy, dac magic plus just out of price range, would it be worth waiting.

 

 

Cheers Chris

Noticed that it's a different chip but it's hundreds of dollars cheaper. What's the catch?

This is just a USB to coax converter, not a DAC.

You're new here, aren't you ?   :)

 

FWIW, there are folk out there who have bought DACs to perform USB-to-coax (or SPD/IF) conversion, but there are several dedicated converters out there now. Many of us just want all that USB data converted to sweet, sweet music and, as allyl has pointed out, you need a DAC to do that.
