Anybody heard the Lessloss DAC?

This thing looks to be right up my alley. I currently have the Altmann Attraction and Love the sound. However, it is not talking perfectly with my TacT preamp. TacT currently has the preamp and DAC, they still can't figure out what's going on.

So, I might have to replace the Altmann. Ugh. It is a superb unit, keeping the natural, organic sound and harmonics of NOS DACs and adding further extension at both ends.

The Lessloss is a little more expensive but looks like it uses some of the design elements I gravitate toward in DACs - battery power, Non OverSampling architecture. It also handles a 192 khz sample rate signal which the TacT processes natively and is 24 bits which the TacT also operates at.

Anybody heard these buggers? Comparisons and sonic signature? I still would perfer to keep the Altmann but it is looking like that won't be possible.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

i have own a attraction dac for 2 weeks then sold it for the W.A.F... not for the sound , an ugly piece of wood and you add a big battery car in the room , that's too much for my wife.. i was searching another battery dac and bought
the lessloss DAC and it's a very different unit , you have the strengths of the alltman ( smouth, detailled, dynamics,) but with extended highs, better control and deeper bass , and ...... beautifull finish .....
just in term of sounding i will give a 16 for the attraction dac and a 18 for the lessloss.. i have mine to sell on audiogon with all my gear ( supratek preamp, CELLO active speaker, cable etc ..) because i'm going in an other direction in my life for the moment .. anyway you can buy new one at lessloss , they are very friendly ...

cheers..
