Did you (or anyone else) upgrade to DAC2? And what can you tell about SQ? Is it worth the money spent?

Phil,   Did you by any chance also tried Amperex/Philips E88CC types?   Seb

i experienced the same regarding tesla 6cc42 (i have the pinched waste version). it's my favourite for the pagoda (however i never had the chance to try the bendix). but i liked it more than we. will have a look at the converters. very interesting as i have a lot of e88cc (and equivalents).

I had the same problem (right channel dead) with my Pagoda. With these many cases it almost seems the problem lays in some Pagoda boards... After installing a new board the Pagoda works fine. Also no problems with my other dac (Metrum Menuet).   I'm also wondering what happened with the dac...
