LessLoss Echos End

Hey guys. I’ve been looking at dacs for what seems like an eternity. I’m heavily leaning towards the Denafrips Venus 2 or Terminator 2. I can’t use Holo Audio due to the high voltage output of 5.8 vrms of the balanced xlr’s. I was really hoping to love the Venus at $3000 but reviews are underwhelming. The Terminator seems to be universally highly regarded. But, at $5000, that introduced me to LessLoss Echos End. The hand made nature of this dac, as well as my Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET and Super 6sn7 Linestbe preamp, appeals to me. Tough finding reviews though from actual owners. Was hoping for some input from Audiogon members. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Earthbound

Thanks Aric for the heads up. There’s plenty of options so I wasn’t too upset to cross one off! Btw, preamp is fully broken in and everything sounds wonderful. 😀

Thanks for the heads up recklesskelly. I actually did go to their website to read some reviews. I did not see the trial period offer when I was there. Good to know.

That link is for auditioning the C Marc line of cables not the DACs. Best to call Constantin and ask whether he sends out components for evaluation

Thank you. I did see that trial for the cables. Under another heading I saw a 10 day trial for certain items but to call. Calling now!
