Several of you fellas have recently purchased a new Peter Daniels DAC.  Where did you buy it?  Do you love it?  Is it the coolest thing ever?  etc

Mike, the word came down from MarkTwain. Here was his original PM to me. Peter Daniel has a running thread on DIYAudio where he developed and tweaked the design.

This is the link to Peter Daniels web site http://audiosector.com/ but he dosen't sell the dac kit on the site because he also sells the assembled dac for around $1200.00 and dosen't want to compete aganist himself. This is a link to a thread on diyaudio.com which discusses his products http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51381&perpage=10&pagenumber=12 The dac discussions start around page 12 and continues through out the thread. This is a link to a 6moons review of the prototype dac http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/audiozone2/zone.html make sure to hit next at the bottom.

To order the kit email him at phdaniel@sympatico.ca. He has different versions of the dac. The premium version which I bought was I think $290.00 with blackgate caps, riken's, caddocks, transformer, cadras rca jacks, power module and bnc adapter. He also soldered the surface mount regulator on the PCB for me.

I built the premium version with wood base and perforated metal cover. There's also a newer review of his DAC-1, preamp and monoblock chip amps on 6moons: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/audiozone5/system.html
