I'm a fan, winson. :-)

Bye bye CH.;-) It's wonderful gear, winson, but it's a lot of money for me to tie up in a DAC when I want an analog rig, too. Tough choice, but the Allnic softened the blow.:-)My system us going through a serious upheaval, winson. When the dust se...

Hey ketcham, Thanks for the letting me know! But, like you, I am planning on other Allnic gear and I'm talking to my dealer on a bundled deal. But thanks for letting me know!allen

Agear, totally agree with you. As I said above, I'm embrassed by my modified Sonos media player driving the Allnic. :-( Auralic does sound like a reasonably priced alternative so I am looking into that.John, congrats on picking up the unit! Did it...

Thx, winson, agear, I stand corrected. :-)Agear, have you heard the Allnic? Any comparisons to your Lampi 7?thx

Thx, Agear. I've heard good things of the Auralic Vega, and I believe Stereophile's review of it earlier this year compared it against the DCS stack. To my ears, the Allnic sounds more like analog than any other DAC I've heard. Most DACs won't sto...

Haha, I'm as surprised as you are, winson! Went to the dealer looking for a TT and I walk out with the Allnic DAC instead! Has got to be one of the most analog sounding DACs I've heard! And Allnic doesn't have the traditional tube sound - more neu...

Hi Joecasey,Believe it or not, I'm using my lowly modified Sonos media player. Yes, I know this is far from optimal, but it allows me test drive the Allnic with what I have. My other DAC is a streamer, so ethernet direct to DAC, no media player ne...

Sunil is a great dealer, highly recommended. I have his Allnic Dac in for a home audition. Very impressive Dac! 
Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular.
I had a Krell FPB300 many years ago and thought it was a sweet sounding amp with a warm, if not slightly dark tonality. It sounded a tad grainy when compared to my Rowland 8TiHC. While researching new Krell amps recently, I often hear that the cx ...
