I picked up my Aero DAC yesterday, and even though I have about 100 hours left on the break-in, I am overwhelmed by the rich organic sound I’m getting. There is no sign of anything sounding remotely digital. Just wow!
Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
I would be extremely interested in how this sounds once released. Small write-up below from PTA below which can be found here:
I was on the hunt for the new Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC ($3,600) on CAF Day One and spoke with founder Mark Schneider. Mark explained that they really hadn’t intended on designing a DAC, but fate, technology, and a key supporting cast presented itself. With a steep learning curve, outside help, and alignment of the universe the Aero DAC was born. This R2R ladder DAC uses the ZOTL output stage, zero negative feedback, and isolated power rails. I’ll report more on how this reasonably priced tube DAC sounds in the Day 2 show report once I track it down.

@lancelock What preamp and amp are you using? |
@mesch, I'm using a ZOTL40 and a Backert Labs Rythm 1.4 preamp. |
@lancelock Thanks! I'm using a Aric Audio Super 6SN7 pre with a Pass XA-25. I currently have a Audio Mirror Tubadour III DAC and am interested in the Areo. |
