Conrad Johnson DA2b


I just got one of these and it is a really great sounding DAC. All the info I have found on forums and what not have been from people that have used it with the DR-1 transport and not with modern music servers. I do not have a DR-1 transport, but I have used this DAC with Apple TV and with a Squeezebox duet and I think it sounds quite nice. There is plenty of air and it handles transients quite well. It handles dynamic classical pieces with ease. Transitions show no harshness and instruments sound as they should. Folk music is broad and rich and rock music is full of detail and without harshness. This one has the original GE tubes, but I have some Mullards on the way.

Can I play 24/96 and 24/192 flac (vinyl rips) files from it?
Did CJ downsampled it to 16/44 on the fly?
Does it mean that output will be the same as CD?
