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.

I want the DAC to be accurate. Just want to hear the music the way it was recorded. But measurements don't tell the entire story...so subjective opinions and objective reviews from professionals are necessary.

Thank You! @carlsbad

I’m a bit confused now...after reading what you wrote and watching this video:

 

is this guy misguided? maybe delusional? Weird measurements?

Like I said in a previous post a while back, I’ve heard some of the "top measuring"

gear featured on that site. Absolutely hated the sound. Sorry, but I don't think some cheap-looking thing from China can be all that competitive!! I'm so confused!

Sounds to me like you're trying to sell me on it.

Well obviously, you're in business so that makes sense.

 

I didn't really understand your analogy..

I watched some YouTube videos about it before Amir posted his review.

Looks cool, claims are amazing from the company...

I like to see that kind of confidence
