Thanks @lalitk - finding a DAC at this price point that can sonically compete with the best DACs is daunting.
Check This Out!
Just wanted to make audiophile community aware, anyone looking for a DAC must check out Galle DAC from Cinnamon Audio. The feedback from two recent buyers was very inspiring and they bought the DAC after listening.
"The Galle DAC: we’ve crafted a DAC that delivers a natural, lush sound with remarkable dynamics and harmonic richness"
Cutting edge R2R, 27 bit ladder, laser cut the resistors to hit 0.1% tolerance; installed directly into the circuit board for a bargain price of $12,995
You can hear this DAC at Capitol Audio, courtesy @gestalt audio.

+1 , although my wallet wishes otherwise. While there have been many fantastic sounding DACs <5k in the past few years, sonic improvements can be easily heard at higher quality/engineered/prices gear. Like all things high-end audio, diminishing returns is the norm BUT the “99%” comment is baselessly incorrect. I have a sonic high quality analog rig so needed a high sonic DAC good enough so that the digital side won’t sound like a letdown. @lalitk - I’m on the west coast, Silicon Valley - so Capital Audio Fest not on my radar. Being on the west coast I checked out T.H.E. show, Pacific Audio Fest, in addition to AXPONA and the late RMAF.Thanks for the suggestion |
