Bump, any updates on the topic ?

Nice job, looks awesome :)

Bump for this old thread, I'm interested as well :)

Quote: I've choose the Mytek stereo 96 DAC, witch I'm pretty happy with at the moment, I think it pairs well with the AKGs, the sound is nicely balanced, but thanks for the input, appreciate it ! :)

BUMP !   I'd like to read more about this dac, is it sensitive for incoming jitter ?

Maybe you're concentrating to hard, you should listen to the music and focus on your feelings about it. I once read it from Till that this way it's easier, the swapping quickly.

I knew there would be very stubble differences between dacs in the same price range, but didn't tough they would be this stubble, any chance that your amp is not up for the job ?, I know that the HE-6 is tough to drive.

so, you're saying that they're on the same level ? what about the sound signature, are there any differences there ?

Anyone got a chance to compare the M-Dac to the Mytek stereo 96 ? I can't seem to find any comparison of the to on-line. I'm looking for a new dac int the 800-900$ range, and currently trying to decide witch one of those two. Will use the dac with AKG K1000s.

Hi guys !   I'm looking for a Dac to pair with my beloved K1000s. I'm on a budget around 800-900$. Is there any dac out there witch pairs up nicely with the K1ks ? Currently I'm stuck between the Audiolab M-Dac and the Mytek stereo 96.

Thanks for the replies!,  I've read every impression about the quattro dac witch I could find on-line, but I'm still unsure of it.   I want to use the DAC from USB, I'd like to have a reasonably  good headphone-amp integrated in it (something close to the O2). Currently I have the O2 as...

@project86, when will you post your finished review about the matrix quattro dac?, I'm really interested in it, thinking about getting one second hand, but still can't make up my mind, I'm also considering the AudioLab M-dac, witch costs quite a bit more money 

Thanks for the fast answer, appreciate it :) , will the sonett drive the K1000s for moderate levels, or its better to save up for the stratus ?

Are there any measurement out there for the Stratus ? Also 8 ohm-s for output impedance is pretty high for something like a Grado, so I suppose I cant use it to drive my Grados.   Al trough it looks really nice, I'd really like to audition it with my K1000s :)

When will you post your review project86 ? It would be interesting reading your thoughts about the gear  .
