You must be talking about the ele dac. Therefore, you're killing me.... I ordered mine a week ago, and ever since then I've been preparing for it's imminent arrival by using my laptop as a source (way more often than I used to). But, not having the ele dac hooked up to it is now driving me crazy lol!

Huh? You mean that you didn't get the same "Your item is marked as shipped" email notification that I got the day after I ordered mine? Ooops!

 

You must have just missed the email man. I really don't want to have to rub in getting my ele dac before you do. Or do I????

To DSNUTS,

 

If I never plan on using an open headphone and only using closed HPs or IEMs, would you still recommend the Sabre over the Ele dac? Trying to save my money so I am wondering if the upgrade is worth it. =)

Wow Ghost. You seem to really enjoy that Ele dac..I knew it would be a hit but I had no idea..Glad your digging that $18 sound. Lol. Who would have ever thought. The truth is it kinda makes sense. Those sound chips in DACs really don't cost much. And if you get a smart Chines guy with the bright idea to make a nice cheap dac that sounds great using a real minimum design that more than does the job. You get the Ele which guys will be completely surprised about once they hear it.

Good question. The truth is the Hifimidey sounds great with everything. Now I also noticed that I am getting even a better sound if I hook this Dac to a small amp. Be it a E11 or something like my Bravo which sounds unbelievable using the Hifimediy.

 

I can say it is completely worth the money spent. I doubt you will hear anything that sounds this good for this price. It sounds great just out of the 3.5 jack but using a small amp it becomes a supernova of awesomeness...

 

If you want to just get your feet wet. The Ele is amazing. Either way you will definitely get your money worth in sound and thensome. $18 is so cheap. I would try one first and later on you can get the Hifimediy. The fact that is uses a more refined chip for sound you know you will get another sound which is nice. It is like getting a FX3X and then getting a XB90EX later. Both different sounding and not the same. Both completely worth the experience.

I most certainly am ! L3000.gif   ...the fact that they're only $18 for the improvement to SQ makes them even sweeter. Of course they don't compare to what's coming out from high end Marantz or Onkyo audiophiles amps (apples and Oranges) but I think they're golden for budget fi.
