Well guys, just logged onto your site using my usual Vitavoxdude monika so I am not hiding. Its great that you have put up a site dedicated to the 'killer DAC' well done.
I visited
Azura last night to listen to the
Goto's; fed via the Audio Note 2.1 DAC kit, not too bad.
I particulally liked the EL34 design driving M's bass horns; the swing your pant's factor was certainly there but dynamics in the MF and HF were squashed giving it a less than live feel. After around 3 hours listening I liked the stage depth and detail but feel the
'KillerDac' of Tuyens fed into a simpler system was ahead by a fair margin.
I am a Vitavox / Altec / JBL fan and anything which allows me to hear real music complete with most of the dynamics in place is a winner for me. My audioholicism goes way back to when I heard my dad's valve radiogram, via a 3' high external speaker with 2 10 x 6" drivers it would fill the entire house, I was hooked,,,,,,,,,,,,I now have some serious speakers and can fill a football field.
M is giving me grief to get the big shed converted into a music room, hmmmmm convincing her indoors its more important than her LIST is the hard bit.....
Any one got a Killer DAC for sale with the I2s direct feed?
