Chord DAVE DAC


Any owners who want to tell me more about it? I recently received an inheritance worth about 13k. I can shell out another 2 grand to get my end-game DAC with headphones. Or...maybe the wife and kids want their bathrooms renovated 

Please tell me how it sounds. I don't have a dealer close-by to audition. I just want "end-game" performance so I won't have to worry. I listen to mostly .flac and .wav files with some .mp3s (320 kbps) in the mix. Only because it was hard to get those albums so I downloaded mp3s and saved money.

asr is a misguided guy sinead means next to nothing you can hear 1 to 5 percent thd  anything lower means nothing. in fact amplifiers with ultra low sinead  means lots of negativre  feedback which sounds bad 

 

 

it is like  measuring  horsepower in a car which is a useless spec

unless  you take into acount the vehicles weight 

400 hp in a 2 ton vehicle  is not fast

 

400hp in a 1 ton vehicle is screaming fast

 

speci fications don't  mean anything compared to sound quality

 

we are a chord dealer the Dave is excellent I would also consider how you feed the dac is also extremely important.
