I've had the Wave DAC in my system for the past month along with Vlad's flagship Wave Preamp. These are both incredible pieces and the synergy between the two is magical. I've owned & heard many good DAC's over the years but the Wave is way above anything I've heard before. Prior to the Wave I was using a very good APL HiFi tube DAC & a Denafrips Terminator Plus. Both of these DAC's sounded very nice but I was missing something. I wanted more realism, more emotional connection to the music. The Wave provides amazing transparency, detail & resolution. The soundstage is wide, deep & has good height. The bass is incredible and the highs are crisp & clean without being bright. The mid range is perfect with beautiful vocals. This is the most analog sounding DAC I've heard. The separation of instruments & vocals is uncanny. The listening experience is involving and never fatiguing. The sound has a weight, presence & density that was missing with my previous DAC's. I'm very satisfied.

@audiomirror I am very interested in the WAVE DAC. I know this is a new piece of equipment and not many have been made. If by chance someone has this DAC could you give us some info and thoughts about the DAC. Vlad if you are out there can you tell us about the build and what's inside. The website gives some info but I would like to know more.

@hifipassion Do you have any idea how much replacement tubes cost? What are you streaming with. What are you streaming with? I think it has a pretty good USB input. |
