Dodson MkII D....Can't be THAT good....right ?

I am in the market for a new to used DAC to go with a CEC TL-1X transport....and in ''certian circles'' this seems to be a DAC that people recommend. I've read about it in the magazines and as usual , ''this is the best, second to none at any price''...blah, blah, blah.....don't believe all that much in magazine or reviewers hype ! I know that I will get responses from people who have bought this piece...and thank you....but I would also like to hear form people who have not bouight it any why and what they eventually did buy ! Can it be that good of a DAC ?....and why then isn't it more popular ?

I have the same transport and find the Audio Logic 24MXL a perfect match. I have A-B'd the DAC against many of the top units and it is amazing! Have not heard it against the Dodson though.

I had the same transport and had both the Dodson 217 mk2 and later the Audio Logic 2400. I found the Audio Logic was a MUCH better fit. More tubelike with less digital edge. Another big plus was being able to tube roll the Audio Logic.

The current model is the 218. I used to have a 217 MkII D and decided
to go back to a one-box CDP. I don't miss the Dodson.
