    Review: Resonessence Labs Invicta - new high end DAC/amp/playback system

     Well, I tried the Weiss dac 202. This was a very nice sounding dac but had so many bugs in it that I returned it after a few days. I have no idea why Weiss just doesn't offer a hirez usb input and the toslink won't do hirez.The firewire was so buggy( even after updates) that I simply gave up. I...

    Meitner MA-1

       When adiophiles get a new toy and it is fantastic they can't wait to tell everyone.This has been anything but the case in regards to this dac. I was very seriously considering the Meitner dac but have decided against it. The complete lack of response from users suggests something is not...

    Quote:    I agree. I think they would have a much greater market if they had an additional model with the features/lack of features you suggest.

     Yes, complete SILENCE on every forum from every owner after " unit arrived". It makes me wonder if there were problems with the initial units.
