Don't know how it happened but somehow I ended up ordering one:rolleyes:. Now looking for a good transportable dac to couple with it :mad:.

Accidents happen :rolleyes:

Perhaps concero would be a good march

The DC-1 is an excellent DAC, and a really good value.

 
I'm getting one, along with the Airmotiv 5S, during their summer sales, because I'm a cheap ***** 

 
Was looking for a cheap but good balanced DAC with a neutral sound signature and so far, the DC-1 is the only one that fits the bill.

When does the summer sale start? Please dont say in the summer!

DC-1 looks interesting... Transportable though?

Been doing some research on the Gustard X12 and I am now leaning towards that. MD has them for 439.

From what I gather, it's a pretty solid Sabre implementation.  @conquerator2 wrote a nice comparison of the X12 vs NFB7 vs Gungnir in Purrin's DAC thread.  You might try to look that up (it was this morning, a few pages back).

@stuartmc had been sharing his impressions of X12 over at the Gustard H10 thread.

Thanks I had saw Stuart's comments in the aune thread.

  This is going to be fun (although maybe with a few sleepless nights thrown in).

 
It's only fair.  Your Liquid Fire has given me plenty of fun sleepless nights due to me listening far too long and realizing too late that it's way past midnight and I should have gone to bed long ago.  So consider this payback.

Hahah, I do believe they have both a summer sale and a fall/winter sale. Looking at past years, the summer sale starts in the first week of June.

It's one of the smaller options out there but I won't really say that it's transportable.... It's probably larger and heavier than the Liquid Carbon. You'll have to look at the actual weight and dimensions and decide if it's suitable for you.

I know where the inspiration has come from

It's tomorrow now!

 
Yes it is. Since Mr. Chi did the first post, I forwarded the info to him to put at the front of the thread (a suggestion from someone). But, I know that Warren is also pretty busy.

 
Did @warrenpchi ever get a chance to update the first post with this info? I can't seem to find any changes.

 

[runeight]

You know, it looks like he hasn't yet.
 
Here are the two things I sent:
 

• Illumination – status LEDs for the three front panel switches.
• A product worthy enclosure. The current enclosure is a prototype that has the general outlines of a production piece, but doesn’t have the final design or finish.

 
I've mentioned the first one already and the second, I think, you guys would expect already. I just wanted everyone to have no doubts.

Would this be a waste if I just ran it single ended?
 
I don't have a balanced DAC nor do I currently have any balanced headphones ><
