Wow, with Ferrari and Naamanf both building Buffalos, there should be some gorgeous DACs to ogle soon.


I was thinking about building mine out of Lincoln Logs

Well it's a little early to tell as my opus has been played a lot so it siunds pretty good too. In my opus set up i have the reciever, dual mono dacs, metranome and ballsie. It does sound very nice.


The Buffalo uses the dac and the Ivy. At first i didn't think there was much in the two. I had only had the dac on an hour or so. But, after a while, there was quite a difference in the two. It's really hard to put my finger on why i like the buffalo more. It think it just literally has more sound than the opus. It seems to have more depth to it. Atleast at this point it does. I really need to run it little longer to be able to provide a better explanation.

Don't get me wrong, i think the opus is brilliant too.

Don't know if that vague description helps?

I appreciate it, I have about the same OPUS set-up, just need the ballsie, so that was still very helpful.

Has anyone measured the vertical height of the assembled boards, both by themselves and stacked together? I've got a Hi-Fi 2000 case which measures 1 3/4"H x 9 1/4"H x 11 1/8"D and I'm trying to figure out just how much DAC I can cram into it.
