It seems every 3rd post in this forum has "Audio-GD" in the title. So I am curious if anyone would like to send me their Audio-GD DAC for professional testing? Or perhaps Audio-GD can send me a DAC intended for a USA customer, I will carefully test it, and then send it on to whoever purchased it at my expense? I am especially interested in the lower priced Audio-GD DACs.
 
And if there is already some good independent testing of Audio-GD products somewhere (not just RMAA results), please provide the link so I can check them out?
 
Surely there must be some Audio-GD owner here who's curious how the Audio-GD products really compares to some of their competition? I can provide a direct comparison with the NuForce uDAC-2 at the low end, and the Benchmark DAC1 Pre at the high end.

I think it will be diffcult with this "Mutual Admiration Society" 

 
I wrote to Kingwa about your thread - maybe he answer you

You mean to say everyone who owns an Audio-GD product hasn't already tested it against their other equipment?

 

[Currawong]

Already happening for the very reasons you mention, though there hasn't been any testing beyond listening comparisons: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/506715/audio-gd-reference-7-loaner-program-usa
 
Currently the DAC is heading to eventually land in California (it started in NY) after which I'll see if there is any interest in a second run.

I can send you my sparrow. Do you want the cs8416 and ad1852 modules too? CS8416 sounds warm, ad1852 has emphasized highs. I have an older sparrow model so if you want to use these modules, you have to use them together, since my wm8741 and dir9001 modules have a wire going between them. Unless you unsolder the wire . Pm me with shipping address.
