A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
I felt strongly that I wanted to inform the Gon members about a new DAC that ranks with the very best on the market regarding performance, but costs around $2,000.00. The Lab12 DAC1 SE was compared to three reference level DACS that retail for over $12.000.00 in my review for hometheaterreview.com and was at least on the same level sonicly, if not better. This DAC from Greece is not just "good for the money" but competes with virtually anything on the market regardless of price!
For all the details about the Lab12 DAC1 SE performance and what other DACS it was compared to take a look at the review. If you are shopping/looking for a new digital front end to drive your system, you owe it to yourself to check this DAC out, unless you like to spend tons of more $ without getting better performance.

I'm using the transport teajay mentioned, along with a notoriously poorly-measuring DAC, and it sounds like magic to me. It already sounded very good from a TASCAM player, operating as a transport, but it absolutely took a few steps forward in imaging, instrument clarity, and weight. No venetian double blinds were harmed in my comparisons, either. |
