Audio Research - DAC9


Hello folks,

I am wondering if anyone here lucky enough to experience the ARC new foundation series components. I am only interested in hearing first hand experience from the owners of DAC 9 and LS28.  

Lack of ARC dealer in my area and online professional reviews makes it bit hard to pull the plug on these components. 

Thank you for your time.

Great thread.

Question: Will a DAC9 play music files fed it from a Bryston BDP-2 (Linux-based player)? Flac mostly. Out from AES of BDP-2.

Tried emailing ARC, but they never replied.

Thanks.
Many thanks lalitk.

My BDP-2 outputs DSD only thru its USB jacks, so if DSD is to be in my future, DAC9 is out.
Haven’t heard DAC9 yet, and I am wary of tubes in DACs (I own LS27 and love it paired with a Bryston power amp).
