Per an email I received from Richard Schram (Parasound Pres) a part of an email response on my inquiry to them about the zDAC:
Here is a comment from one of Parasounds most important dealers. I know his office system includes Martin Logan Summit X speakers.
Finally listened to the Zdac in my office. Wow! Its the cleanest DAC Ive had in my system. Incredibly detailed. Amazing soundstage depth. I lived with Benchmarks at home for years. This is dramatically better. Way, way more detailed. I can clearly hear a reduction in the digital noise or haze and it lets an incredible amount of info through. Makes me excited for the future of digital.
Like you, I am very interested in the Parasound zDAC and would like to here some more feedback from users. I am not currently using any outboard DAC from my Integra DPS-10.5 Universal Player and would like to have the warm fuzzy that I will be hearing a reasonably good improvement. I am also using a Parasound Halo A23 amp and P3 preamp.
