Digital Audio Denmark DACs


Has anyone tried the Digital Audio Denmark (DAD) AX24 DAC? Would appreciate any insights on the sound. Thanks.

Thanks, Carlos. Have you ever compared it to the EmmLabs DACs? Also, how were you feeding it DSD?

My plan is to feed 44.1-384kHz and DSD to the dac from my PC, but I'm still looking for the best way to do this. Maybe a Merging board using a MADI card (for 44.1-384 and 1xDSD) and a SDIF3 card (for 2xDSD). I've owned the Meitner DCC2 and loved it, but it doesn't take a PCM input higher than 96kHz. I don't want to take a step down in sound quality from the Meitner.
Niemeijer, sorry, I never saw your post earlier. That was Carlos who you are quoting, not me. But I think Carlos was explaining that the AX24 can only receive a 2xDSD signal that is in the SDIF-3 format. So, you would need the SDIF-3 input card in the AX24 as well as a source that outputs a SDIF-3 2xDSD signal.
