Boutique caps in oil... reliable?

Hi Charles,

I never hears of this DAC before, so I looked it up. I looks amazing, and right away reminded me of Audio Note, although reading the text it appears that it is its own thing, although I was glad to see that there was no oversampling, because I think that is where the magic begins.

What led you to choose it?

I have nothing but good to say about the sonic performance of the Duelunds. Organic, beautiful, and zero electronic signature. Well worth the (gulp) price.

There was a thread that I contributed to just yesterday where I mentioned that I had an expensive Duelund capacitor that leaked, and I got no satisfaction from Duelund or Parts Connexion. I had discovered the leak when I opened the DAC to change a tube. I left it in after cleaning up the leaked oil, and a few years later when I sent the DAC in for an upgrade, there was no more leaked oil, and the technician tested the cap, and i was still up to spec, so no harm done, I guess.
