Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?


I am wondering what users are thinking of this dac and if they have compared it to similarly priced units. I haven't seen much information or any professional reviews at this point and I am intrigued by it's functionality.

Here's a long thread on the AMR DAP-777 at ComputerAudiophile.com from various users that you might find useful: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/AMR-DP777
Art Dudley just came out with a very positive review of the DP-777 in the current issue of Stereophile (March 2012).
Sirotseta...do you still own it? What did the DP-777 replace in your system? Do you use it as a DAC-only or also as a preamp as well? Any and all feedback would be appreciated. Thx
I see that Stereophile gave this DAC a Class A rating in this month's Recommended Components. Honestly, I think it should have been A+. Maybe I am missing something but the Empirical Off-Ramp and Grace m903 are A+?? Also, the Weiss 202 & Ayre QB-9? All these are probably good but if they are A+, so is the AMR DP-777...just my opinion. My DP-777 now has 700 hours and I am still running direct to the amps.......simply outstanding.

Jeffga...my guess is Art Dudley who reviewed it and liked it a lot argued for A+ rating but John Atkinson who measured it (and he was unimpressed with its measured performance) argued for a lower rating and they compromised and came out with a Class A rating.
