Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?


Hey Folks,

I did some searches and did not see anyone claiming to have the DAC+.  Saw one positive review from a site of which I am unfamiliar.  I prefer reviews where there is listening and testing so perhaps we will have to hope for Stereophile or HiFi News to get one but that will probably take some time.

I have a DAC+ on backorder with MusicDirect so hopefully any bugs will be exterminated before I get mine.  I am also hoping for more details on the circuit changes.

Hope you folks are well and good,
Robert

Robert - Thanks for your comments on the Brooklyn DAC+.  Out of my price range right now, but, you never know...

I think your ability to clearly hear and describe the differences between the Oppo and the Brooklyn imply that your preamp is indeed revealing and clean enough for the task. I, too, have a complex system with recording devices, an equalizer (oh no!!!) and numerous sources. My McIntosh preamp is indispensable in my system. Sometimes, practical considerations have to take precedence over an incremental increase in sound quality.

@robob -  I never looked at the Loki before.  What a marvelous little device!  If I did not have tone controls on my pre, I would look into this.  I use a vintage Kenwood graphic/parametric EQ that is fully electronic, no noisy sliders or pots.


IIRC, though, doesn't the CP-500 have a fully adjustable paramentric EQ in the digital domain?  Wouldn't that be enough?
