    New M8 DAC from SMSL (9018/XMOS)

      I agree with DJBobby.  I have the tubemagic D2 and the SMSL M8.  The M8 supports DSD and 24/384 as well as async usb which is on paper better then the tubemagic DAC's.  As far as sound, the tubemagic is already at a pretty good level so I would say that the M8 is better, but you are really...

    Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 (Dedicated DAC) - Review, FAQ & Info Thread

    I have not measured with a sound meter, but the two outputs sound very similar in sound volume to me.  I have both running into my preamp and I can A/B switch them quickly.

    I am really enjoying my Maverick Audio Tubemagic D2 DAC and thought I would take the time to post my impressions.   I elected to purchase a "open box" D2 DAC with the upgraded GE5670W tubes which was $20 off of the list price.   The unit was shipped to me from a Florida address instead of...

    Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 (Dedicated DAC) - Review, FAQ & Info Thread

    I am a new owner of a tubemagic d2.  I have several opamp's on hand to try out both FET and Bipolar technologies.  What is the voltage supplied on the pin 4 and 8 of the D2 opamp sockets?  Several of my opamps with lower voltage specs run +/- 15 (AD4627-1) and some are +/-13VDC (AD8620).

    Firestone BRAVO 24/96 USB transport w/o drivers + reclocker?

    Quote: I already had the partsexpress powersupply in my shop.  It is a useful unit since you can select various DC voltages for powering all kinds of things.  So no extra cost for me.   But anyway, let me take this opportunity to thank you leeperry for your review of the Bravo. ...
