Prima Luna have released the Kracken (striketrough) I mean DAC


So has anyone in here actually heard it?
Will it be at Axpona, if so someone's got to say something about it please?

I'm not a fan of the Primaluna style, but looks are not terribly important.  With its well tubed output stage, how quiet will it be? That EVO100 like it would fun to tube roll in.  I have plenty of decent to great extra 12AU7s and AX7s around.  I'm semi in the market for a new DAC (have an RME ADI2, it's perfectly fine, just looking for a change), I'll keep an eye on this one.

Thanks for pointing out the Musical Paradise MP-D2. I am surprised at its relative cheap cost. The Primaluna EVO100 is quite pricey relatively. How did the MP-D2 sound? It’s looking like my next DAC will be tube based, since that is more fun. Unfortunately I can’t make use of my surplus 12AU7/AX7s with the MP-D2 and knowing myself, it might send me down a rabbit hole of searching out NOS 6N1Ps. Also rectifier tubes in DACs are intriguing to me... Sorry a bit OT.
