Meier Audio Corda Soul - TOTL DAC/AMP/DSP
Hi, I just recently bought the Corda Soul and I had to register to this forum just to say that it is brilliant headphone amplifier, DAC and pre-amplifier. Very clear and ”charming” sound, and worked incredibly well also as preamplifier in my loudspeaker setup. Jan answered all my questions...- Dzinn
