Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC
I have nothing to compare it it to. I guess you could go with what people have said about the D1 but with a little bit more s/n. Hopefully I can get a hold of more equipment so I can evaluate both -

The guy that worked there was talking but I couldn't hear a damned thing he was saying. The song I tested it with was King Crimson's "Epitaph." The power they gave off was very nice and despite what the assistant...
