I had no idea this was commercially available. I was told it never got to market and the designer moved on. I still use mine from time to time and did try it with an Audioquest Jitterbug but can't recall the outcome- it was to an amp and speakers. It's ok- still better than the original...

Eminent Technology LFT8b's. One of the biggest (and tallest) speaker bargains IMO. Jriver> Cary Audio DAC100t> ModWright LS100> Hypex Ncore400 monoblocks>

Update: Listening with Onkyo ES-FC300 headphones which I thought I’d give a go- totally different than with the ACS T15 iems. No treble issues - a slight bump up at 6khz and I EQ’d the bass down 3.1 dbs.

Here is a link; http://www.prodigyelectronics.net/digital-to-analog-converters.html   I had this response from the seller: It is my understanding that the Prodigy uses a ATI 48/24 Codec and it is compatible with playback for virtually all file formats up to 192/24 bit files. The ATI codec is...

Prodigy D2A-HPA USB DAC/headphone amp A few things first. I’m no reviewer, no headphone junkie (though my experience with this product may change the headphone part). How did I come by the Prodigy and what vested interest do I have? I thought my Audioquest Dragonfly v1 was faulty (an...

Plakat- it was not new. It was not shipped in its original box but in a small box, badly packaged with some newspaper and very little bubble wrap (no styrofoam). Bought it from jauce.com (as I had seen other head-fi-ers had done). I won't post pics of the damaged box. Boring. Now I have to...

My HP-A8 arrived on Monday. No wonder it arrived so quickly from Japan. It fell most of the way It looked as if it cartwheeled down the runway       Just some of the damage. So now back to Japan from South Africa and the long wait for a claim to be settled. Bleak.

It's very easy.

I should add there there's no consistency. Wharfedales were cheaper here than "at home" and I hear Scots buy Scottish whisky here to take home. Sorry for derailing this thread...

That's a crazy price swing! And at that price I would shop around, brand-wise. I hear you about customs. I have speaker cables stuck there and, cos the the seller didn't specify "2nd hand", had to pay £57.17 on a £190 (incl courier) item. It's the devil or the deep blue sea in South Africa as...

They do seem cheaper in the far East. I just bought one on auction at jauce.com for 57000Yen (plus other fees). Found out about jauce on another thread- and about changing voltages here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/656175/wanting-to-import-a-fostex-hp-a8c-from-japan-voltage-concerns   It's...

Has anyone heard of- or better yet heard- the Prodigy D2A? I have seen it for sale on eBay, and the blurb touts it as way better than 2 well known usb DACS.

Ta. I have done. there aren't many who have the NFB-28. Reckon I'll give it a whirl. Audio Gd seem to pay great attention to power supplies which may (uneducated guess) make it a better preamp.  

I am considering these 2- as DACs and preamps for my hi-fi, with AVR passing through. The 28 with $40 options (TCXO for USB-32 and ES9018) works out about the same price cos shipping to South Africa from China is way way cheaper than from USA. SQ? Which would you choose? I am looking for a...

Thanks KG Jag. Will do.
