Anyone ever hear the DAD-NewOntech DA-30 Tube DAC?
I've just had an opportunity to purchase an oldschool Mark Levinson 360 DAC...but also a (newer) Danish Audio Design (NewOntech DA-30) Tube Dac...wondering if anyone has any information on the Tube DAC?
I never got it....still interested in hearing it though. I did aquire a Jay's Audio CDT2MKII Transport (superb) & its got an I2s over HDMI output that is supposed to offer the highest sound quality so I think I'll wait until I can afford a DAC like the Denifrips Terminator+ or something similar. That Ontech DAC30 was at Northern Audio in Pittsburgh...might still be there.
Farfignugen, A close audiophile friend stumbled across this discussion and made me aware of your interest in NewOntech Dac 30. I am the owner of Ole Nielsen's personnal 's Dac 30. Have owned it for a good number of years now. A tube rollers dream.
Kind of you to introduce yourself...still haven't bought a reference DAC.. Getting by with a wonderful Taiwanese DAC (some 14 years old) that uses the 2018 Sabre chip (Eastern Electric Mini-Max+)...turns out its the equal of my previous $3500 90's Ladder DAC....(& at 20% of the price-used).. I'm quite interested though in what you've been able to learn from hearing your Danish tube DAC in relation to other things in the market. ...if you care to share?
