About 5 years ago a city on a nearby island was getting rid of old tech. I walked out of a record store with like 50 LP's for free. It wasn't fun caring them "hundreds of miles" (?) home without a vehicle though.

A local used CD store there also got rid of their whole onventory and closed at the same time there. $1 a CD at the end. It was a sad sight to see. That was a fun store.

Rest in peace physical music technology.

*** On the plus side Tascam is apparently joining another company to create brand new cassettes.

Oh the horror.

NuForce STA120 (Class D Speaker Amp) to drive Susvara with DIY 4 Pin Cable. It sound really good, the cost is $300 (Used) as a second amp for Susvara it is the Best Buy option.

Very rare to see a Single Power amp still around.

For the vocal with H800s and Utopia it sound like a heaven.

This is my main Headfi station.
I use the LTA as both to drive my hifi system going to Audionote AN-K with the firstwatt F7.

I actually have a bad habit of collecting DACs.

Current ones I have:
Denafrips Terminator V1
Lampizator lvl 4 custom one off mod by Lukas Fikusz ( the owner of Lampizator)
Rockna Wavedream

Likely will get an Audionote DAC.

Am partial to R2R NOS DACs lol.
Can be used in both Head-fi and hi-fi

What's your favourite DAC?

 

[ihyan2]

This is a difficult question to answer but my longest DAC and still my reference as of today is the Denafrips Terminator that I bought 4-5 years ago I think.

Bought from a guy that literally bought it say Denafrips shop/outlet in Shenzhen China near the plant.

It's my current reference and what I judge others DAC with. The others are alternative flavours. And yes I've listened to MSB/DCS and yes they do better than terminator to certain degrees but not the whole package but the price Delta to me is not worth it YMMV ..

Try out if you can an Aries Cerat Heléne. It is really endgame stuff and I heard a lot.

One of my buddies is planning to get the full fledged Aries Cerat Kassandra looking forward to listen to that....

I was curious, so looked for the price...
When it goes for 80% off - it will be in my budget for a DAC
Also, this thing is a beast (size and weight wise)! Will not fit in my 19" rack.
