Looks like a brethen product of PurePower. Check out their Pure Power Audio Power Supply (APS) for similarities http://www.purepoweraps.com/aps.htm |
I would recommend this giant slayer of a DAC namely, the Accustic Arts Reference Tube DAC2. It has been compared to the likes of dcs/Emm/Chord and many preferred it instead. Check Teajay's head-turning review at Accustic Arts Reference Tube DAC2 It was his reviews of Accustic Arts DAC Mk3/4 and later the Tube DAC that attracted me to check it out and when the homework was done, I bought a DACMk4 first and then the Ref Tube DAC as in accordance with his DAC evolution. Teajays very detailed reviews portrayed the same findings I had when auditioning Accustic Arts when compared to other brands, so it was quite easy to decide. Could not recommend it earlier as Teajay mentioned recently that it was no longer being brought in into the States as AAudioImports, the former distributor no longer markets it. Then later I found that Accustic Arts has changed hands to another US company called Musical Sounds recently. Thus it's still a good and viable option for you to check, assuming you are from the States. Their new accompanying transport called the Reference Drive 2 should also be launching soon (this was shown at the recent Munich show) The new US distributor is at the below URL Musical Sounds |
