Audio Mirror WAVE DAC k

@996turbo911 Maybe Vlad will see this thread and give us some information.  I have seen him post on here in the past.  

I’d love to hear that DAC and preamp in my system, but I doubt I’ll ever be so lucky.

Hello Guys,

Here is some information about WAVE DAC. Took me a little over 2 yrs to design it.

DAC has no capacitors in the signal path. Uses one of the best sounding tube for small signals. I experimented a lot with different tubes. This  was the best sounding one. In the digital part of the DAC I have 6 separate dual regulated, ultra low noise, linear power supplies. Separate transformers(3 pieces)for digital, analog tube section and tube filament. DAC uses the best USB XMOS chip for USB input. Three separate receivers for USB, I2S and the rest(optical, coaxial and AES). It reclocks all the signals. Output transformers are custom made Lundahl. My main goal was to create DAC which not only sounds musical and analog, but to be able to extract all possible information ad details from digital file. Well..... first time I heard the prototype I was building, I was shocked. Honestly I didn't expect to be so good. I expected something a little better than Tubadour VI. I can keep talking about sound, but it's not fair coming from me. It will be more like I am bragging. I compared WAVE DAC to a few super expensive DACs. It sounds better than any of them. I don't want to share all the technical details with you guys, because there are some design secrets which I want to keep it for me. I hope you understand.

Currently I offer a discount of 35% and also a trade in option. You can trade in your Tubadour DAC and also get the 35% discount at the same time. Email me with questions and we can discuss the details. 

@boa2 @hifipassion I really appreciate you guys talking about what you think about the DAC.

@brbrock You're quite welcome.  Over the past two weeks, we have been listening 2-3 hours every night.  The neighbors came over and played DJ until after midnight.  My brother who is also into fine audio came for a visit and we listened for 3 hours.  At the end, he said, "This is like an entirely new activity, never heard anything like it."

If that sounds exaggerated and dramatic, I suppose it is.  My wife and I are re-discovering all of this music we have been listening to for decades.  Not simply by hearing new details in the music, but particularly how the various parts are meant to fit together as a composition.

If you get one, have a listen to "She's Leaving Home" by the Beatles, and see if it doesn't sound like the first time you're hearing it.
