Hi guys, options to include DAC and phono as upgrade options, yes. DAC will be USB 24/192 and RCA input.
Sonically, I belive the integrated will be just behind the LS 100 and KWA 100SE, but with more power. It has no tubes of course. It is a great sounding product and offers one of the best values in Integrateds available on the market.
The LS 100 w/KWA 100SE combo, for more money, WILL sound a little better.
My initial goal would have cost over $10K and I didnt' feel that this was the best time to offer such a product.
I am working to wring EVERY bit of sonic goodness out of this design.
I am confident that everyone will be VERY pleased.
Thanks,
Dan
