“All of this for $1,299.90? ”
They wouldn’t be able to keep up with demand at that price but wait, they will probably go bankrupt before they could fill all the orders 🤣
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.

@grannyring - Probably d1-Unity at $11,500 euros, maybe with the live power upgrade but that seems expensive for the modest improvement described in Lavorgna’s TM review. I would have interest in used units except he changes designs so much that I would worry about obsolescence. Also, I am not thrilled about the low output voltage of the former models. Most of their current models output a more reasonable 3.5v/7v rms into rca/XLR. Also, seems to be a somewhat subdued market for them here in the USA. |
Well, it took me a full day to catch the error in my previous post. It was supposed to read 2 BILLION micro farads, not 2 Billion farads. That's still a piss pot full of farads and I have never heard of any other audio component sporting anywhere near that level of spec. Possibly the Pivetta Opera 20,000 watt amp or some such might but it is beyond me. |
@mitch2 i just read the TM review of the D1-Unity dac and I am sure it is a beautiful sounding piece. I have always been aware of this company and their dacs, but never took a deeper dive for some unknown reason. Love to compare this dac to the Galle. Both are about the same price and seem focused on similar sonic goals. |
