Has anyone tested this DAC with an external and well regulated PSU as a means to evaluate how much more SQ can be squeezed out of this baby?
I've been a happy owner of a silver Stagedac for almost a year.
So, to celebrate its first birthday, I got it a little brother...
I ordered one in black.
Seriously. I have become something of a Stagedac fanboy.
I have tried multiple sources with my headphone setups. and none of the others give me the sound that i've fallen in love with from the Stagedac.
So, I've decided to make two headphone rigs with it as the source. (home and work)
And so, my musical fidelity M1 DAC will move into the living room, and become the DAC for my home theater.
And my iStreamer will remain my mobile and bedside source.
And I will be one happy camper....
In a perfect world, sure, the Stagedac would have balanced outputs.
But, I'm so taken by its sound signature and its crossfeed and filters that I'm willing to take balanced out of the equation for now...
That's an endorsement if there's ever been one!
Just looked them up. How do they sound at $150/pair? I'm looking for a good budget bookshelf speaker to complement my LCDs
and...
here it is.
the blue LED looks nice beside the Virtue TWO.2
