As long as we're all guessing here, I would say that if you weren't satisfied with the Acute 3, I would pass on this as well if you can't audition. Given the price point, I would be very surprised if this were a significant improvement over the 3.
EAR Acute Classic - has anyone heard or tried it
EAR just released a new cd/dac single unit: the EAR Acute Classic http://www.earyoshino.com/Acute-CD-Player/
Has anyone heard it or tried it? I previously had the EAR Acute 3 but sold it a few months ago. I really loved it but thought the DAC portion could have been better, but it was a little dated (came out about 5 years ago). I'm really interested in this unit and would appreciate if anyone can offer any feedback on it. I don't have a local dealer near me so am reaching out to others who may have more experience with it.
