eh, she's not the best i've heard.. but good enough to not make me get something better right away.

strenghts:
detail, outward soundstage, treble extension, dynamics (better than lavry),tight bass, it does't exhibit a particular sound... just lets the music speak for itself (as oppose to a stello).

weaknesses:
not as good imaging as lavry, bass is not extended, not very lively or musical sounding.... can be a little laid back sometimes.

Until I've heard every DAC in existence, I'll refrain from taking a shot at it's world standings.


My bad...

You may not find a better dac.... but I sold my vda-2 and vac-1 and bought a sonicraft dac60 and could not be happier with my decision.

i think part of the problem has to do with the air and detail within tones. for example, voices don't sound as real as i've heard them before.

but this seriously needs to stop, i'm never going to become a fanboy of any product, the VDA-2 is good, but i could go on all day about what's wrong with my zana deux, HD650, equinox cord and UR8 cables... that's just me.



don't have to be a fanboy... I agree with you wholly. Right now I'm using a SB with a Welborne PSU (not sure if its doing anything in particular, but don't have the time to care right now), and through my GS1000's and VDA-2/VAC-1, it's just right...

Uh, okay.

Well anyway, I can not express to you how much the VDA needs an Eichmann PC to shine.

I beg you, trust me on this.... I'd give it a good 300% performance increase.



We have another Patrick!
