PrimaLuna EVO 100 DAC


I read several members have one. Would like to find out what do you think about it now that you have had it for awhile?

Thank you

I have one and have been testing it against the PS audio stream DAC which is almost twice as expensive.  I’m very happy with the sound.  There is definitely a warmth, brightness and detail that makes it much more pleasing to listen to than the PS Stream (which is cold and clinical by comparison).  I hear more detail with the Prima Luna as well.  It is a big improvement over the DACs I had before (built ins from my Marantz SACD player and Node is).  The Prima Luna is very quiet background, beautiful detailed mods highs and bass.  Sound stage not as wide as the Stream but so far no comparison as to which I enjoy listening to (the Prima Luna).  One thing that surprised me is a red book Beatles mono CD - it’s always sounded dry and sterile through other DACs but sounds beautiful detailed and warm on the Prima Luna.
I Java a PL Evo100 Dax and am quite happy with it. After having a few solid state Dax’s of which neither did much for me, closed in soundstage, dry dynamically, nothing to make me want to play digital at all. I would rather play CD’s or vinyl as nothing I had tried in the digital platform made me want to listen for very long at all.
   Well after seeing a positive review in the Absolute Sound on the Evo 100, I found a used one cheap in perfect condition and hardly used at all. I believe that is one of the issues with this dac is break in time and warmup before playing. It was rather bland when I first put it in my system which I use with an Audible Illusions Modulus preamp. Well ill tell you what, after about 50-100 hrs of break in, the sound suddenly bloomed in every direction, wide soundstage, deep with well placed images and warm sounding which I like as opposed to clinical. Warmup time makes a difference to I have found with about a 45 minute wait before it shines in my system.
   Using a Krell KSA150 amp, the AI Modulus preamp and either Martin Logan CLS or Quad 63 speakers with subwoofer to fill in the bottom end. Anyway, I’m very happy with the Evo 100 and plan on keeping it for many years.
I have had one for almost a year and agree with esky1979 and k600r.I can't really add much except to say that
I enjoy listening to my music through this DAC very much.
While I don't have the PL 100 DAC, I do have the PL Prologue 8 CD player running into a Lampizator Amber 3 DAC via the S/PDIF connection and can say that this is the best I've ever heard digital sound! Lush, 3D spooky soundstage with bass to bust balls. I got the Amber 3 with volume control so this allows a direct connection to my amp. Let me put it this way, I have not played vinyl much since I got the Amber 3...

Hello

I had a Moon 280D for about 2 weeks dac was good but didn't like the mind software...

So decided to try a PL dac, an yes much better now my question is to witch streamer transport would you pair it?

I was first thinking Aurender N100H or even N150 the dealer says it doesn't match well something with the first note an gapless play back
So the other options I'm thinking about are 

Auralic Aries G1

or

LUMIN U2 MINI

Dont really now what to chose or whats best, I know it's subjective 

But what did PL dac users chooses here ? I will look in to all suggestions

Thanks :-)
