Of course we sold out many D1.3X after this demonstation , but on the other hand it proof my speaking again. The msb is hitting at the $4000 area i believe?

Heck, if it can sound better than a $1500 Grace m902, it can beat a $4K DAC, why not?

Any pictures of the D1.3X?

Just as long as it doesn't sacrifice the treble! Please let us know after a couple of days how the progress is going.

I'm listening to my new DAC 1.X, and it sounds very nice. A good step up from the various analog outs I had on the powerbook...very much worth the $200ish, even before I get the balanced amp...

 

[RogerWilco]

Has anyone else ordered the modded dac from lawrence.It sure is sounding extremely good!

 

[tkam]

I plan to be ordering the modded one any day now..

can you give us a comparison to the stock version or even the DAC-AH?

I have the DAC-AH and I'm try to decide between having RAM upgrade it or getting the modified d1.3x.

The dy 2000 op-amp seems to have more of a tube midrange where as the original op-amp seems to be a little more on the lean side with a little more treble reponse.

The dy2000 op-amp seems to be more balanced with the modded dac though.Too little time to play around with the new modded dac--off with the family now.

The 3 caps on the main modded board are NICHICON 2200uf 25v.I plan on changing these out with some rubycon caps soon.

Thanks for the photos, RogerWilco. Should get my DY2000 next week. Looking forward to the tube midrange.
