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.

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.
