VERY nice, Barry. I would suppose that, for most audio-only folks (audiophiles, 2 channel music lovers, etc.) that the LIO-8 will be sonically indistinguishable from the ULN-8? And looks like it lists for $3995. Thanks!
My LIO-8 arrives tomorrow and I will be comparing it to my Weiss DAC2.
I'd be very interested to hear from someone who can compare this to similarly priced DAC's like the Empirical Audio Overdrive or the Berkeley Audio Alpha. Of course the LIO has the advantage that it is also an ADC.Barry, have you directly compared the MH as a DAC for home audio users to other "audiophile" DACs?
So, how do they compare?
I will report back after a few more days of a/bing. Short answer is this: both are world class, but sound quite different. Systems and personal preferences will be the dependent variables.
