ANK L5 Mentor Preamp Kit.

How come no one talks about L5 Mentor kits? I heard its extremely good. A colleague of mine compared it to

I'm planning on building one soon. Based on the sound quality off the ANK 4.1x DAC that I recently built, I expect great things.

No one talks about the L5 Mentor because there aren't any reviews.

Congratulations. I'd be surprised if you aren't delighted.

My suggestion would be to do a complete parts inventory before you start the build.

I love the 2.1 dac that I built, vinylvalet is correct on checking the parts inventory. I had to go back to Brian a few times for additional parts.

@vinylvalet  Is your ANK DAC smooth, warm, musical or more analytical ?

Not sure why anyone would want warm or analytical in a properly designed stereo system. If you mean by musical, tonal purity, effortless dynamics and presence then this DAC is spot on.
