I'm sure I can change my opinion of it if I start testing all other Dacs we're talking about here. I was actually thinking of buying a Wadia CD player (the 581se i) or their Dac 27ix. Of course they are much more expensive and on a different league. I decided to wait until the next generation of Wadia products (next year). Part of the decision was simple do to the issue of inputs available on these products. And this was one of the reasons I blindly, or almost, decided for the DAC1 Pre. I need to have optical, USB, and coaxial. You sound like you're a studio person. Let me ask then what amp and source (CD player) you're using with the Mytek? BTW have you tried ADAM speakers? |

I think they are catered mainly towards the pro audio sector. why dont you just go check out Herr Weiss? |
