Anybody heard the Lessloss DAC?


This thing looks to be right up my alley. I currently have the Altmann Attraction and Love the sound. However, it is not talking perfectly with my TacT preamp. TacT currently has the preamp and DAC, they still can't figure out what's going on.

So, I might have to replace the Altmann. Ugh. It is a superb unit, keeping the natural, organic sound and harmonics of NOS DACs and adding further extension at both ends.

The Lessloss is a little more expensive but looks like it uses some of the design elements I gravitate toward in DACs - battery power, Non OverSampling architecture. It also handles a 192 khz sample rate signal which the TacT processes natively and is 24 bits which the TacT also operates at.

Anybody heard these buggers? Comparisons and sonic signature? I still would perfer to keep the Altmann but it is looking like that won't be possible.

Thanks in advance,

Iansr,
Lite DAC modified...16 bit NOS, yep no jitter issues for me, why Don't know? Its called the Dac Ah-Ha, its a few Steps beyond the Audio mirror that everyone raves about, but is the same base architecture of the audio mirror... Biggest reason it totally sounds analog, and has rock bottom bass with tube like mids.. Also for the price it is simply stupid when you hear some of the bigger costlier contenders, I really mean that, cause I was caught up in the whole, get a Dac from Levinson, Wadia, Etc... I have gone the route of the 24 bit, the SACD, The DVD-A for about 2 years.. And found a very Strong return to an Analog Table, and 16 bit NOS with all the quality parts loaded into it.. Music in the Ipod world only goes so far. Its very different when you can listen to your CD's even the ones you wish you could love the recording but know its not an impressive demo piece for when the friends come over.. Well this DAC has eliminated that problem :)
I own the Dac and will not give it up! i am presently using the Tact Boz system. Only tried it because my listening room is small and wanted to try an all digital sound. I used the dac with the Modright 9.0, Hephaestus digital amps,and the CEC transport. Very natural sounding. I heard CD's I've had for 15yrs. for the first time. Lessloss gives you harmonic signitures like a GREAT phono stage. Purchase one. You will not be disappointed, only twisted by it's presentation. I'm keeping the Boz system and the Dac as well. (for future use) everything else is gone
