A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio

I felt strongly that I wanted to inform the Gon members about a new DAC that ranks with the very best on the market regarding performance, but costs around $2,000.00.  The Lab12 DAC1 SE was compared to three reference level DACS that retail for over $12.000.00 in my review for hometheaterreview.com and was at least on the same level sonicly, if not better.  This DAC from Greece is not just "good for the money" but competes with virtually anything on the market regardless of price!

For all the details about the Lab12 DAC1 SE performance and what other DACS it was compared to take a look at the review.  If you are shopping/looking for a new digital front end to drive your system, you owe it to yourself to check this DAC out, unless you like to spend tons of more $ without getting better performance.

  I am late to this discussion as I wasn't aware of it until today or I would have joined it much earlier. I may be wrong but I think Teejay is an audiophile first and a critic second. As an audiophile he enjoys sharing his insights on gear that punches well above it's price point. As a critic, he has access to a lot more equipment then most of us do. He was spot on with the Tekton Design speakers so when he raves about something ; I listen.

As for retailers joining discussions, I have no problem with them contributing as long as they state that they sell audio gear and if a discussion is about a product they sell, they should inform us. I have seen numerous very informative postings by retailers and look forward to reading more in the future.
