I think the D1, with an appropriate selection of opamps can hold its own with the P3, but I think the improved DAC section of the D3 makes it the better choice. I have not achieved the degree of spatial accuracy and detail in the D1 as I have in the D3. We are not talking huge variations here, but rather subtle differences between the two amps.
The optical and coax inputs in the D1 are quite good, and if you have a source with optical out, the D1 is a good amp to keep. It really should be considered as more of a desk amp due the the size.

I am interested to hear your thoughs on how the D3 (stock or rolled) compares with a rolled D1 (DAC LT6241, L/R AD743. Buffers LMH6655) - both in terms of usage as a DAC and as a DAC/amp. Thanks in advance! |
