Ordered this from PriceJapan, and was worth of every euro I payed. Greatly enjoying this with my Audio-Technica's. Enjoy the pics. = )

This thing wipes the floor with the Musical Fidelity M1DAC + M1HPA combo I had! = D The clarity, separation, punchiness, soundstage, you name it. Everything sounds very involving. And on top, this looks classy to my eyes. No device purchases next year, not a hard promise to keep. = ) Maybe new phones though... ;D

Nice looking DAC but just wait until you listen to a very good one....

 

[TheOtus]

No worries, in Finland the supply is so narrow that I probably won't be able to listen to anything much better unless I order one. xD Next will probably be something from Esoteric, and the prices ensure that I'm not buying them anytime soon.

Sorry to bump this. But I want to ask what chip they're using for DAC and USB Receiver, and most importantly, how do they sound via USB?

 

[TheOtus]

The DAC chip is Asahi Kasei AKM4396. I don't actually know about the USB, I use optical.

That's is really a nice looking DAC. 
Do you have to pay more to get the wooden casing?
I don't see wooden casing in their website though.

 

[TheOtus]

The wooden casing was about 15% more, I don't remember exactly. Mostly visual but too good looking to pass. = )

 

[Xymordos]

Oops lost this thread I posted in...
I thought the wooden casing was only available to the LTD version?
 
Oh is this mainly an Amp or DAC?

 

[TheOtus]

Yeah, it only comes with the LTD version, just compared the price to the regular version.
 
I suppose it's mainly a DAC, however the amplifier is not a joke either and at the moment I have no desire for separate amp. = )

Hi The Otus

Does it work on 240v? Like in the UK? Thanks
