About the Matrix Audio ND-1 DAC

@curiousjim 

It’s been too long since I watched that video but he usually goes onto detail about the presentation.  I thought that aspect of the review could possibly be of some use. I do recall his description gave me the impression it would not likely please my ears but, needless to say, this isnt relevant for you. 

Listening would be, though!  ;o)

If I remember correctly, Terry said that switching in the transformers gave the ND-1 a "glorious" sound, which sounds to me as if in that configuration it's more R2R-like than most Sigma-Deltas.

The output level is a pet peeve: currently (no pun intended) I operate my preamp around 9:30, where 6:00 is zero.  Adjusting the output on the Weiss let me operate around noon and gave me more latitude in getting the volume just right. Unfortunately it wasn't as tonally full-bodied as the Luxman...

Lumin also uses the Lundahl transformers in their higher-end DAC's.  Must be something to them.
