Tube Dac Comparisons
« on: 19 Jan 2008, 02:39 am »
I'm in the market for a tube dac.  I'm curious if anyone has compared any of the following:

1) AVA ultra dac
2) Monarchy (N)M24
3) Lite Dac-60 modded

My system is uber resolving and very transparent - I'm looking for 3d body and exceptional timbre.

Grazie!

Since you mentioned the AVA Ultra DAC, which is in fact a hybrid component, note that Frank van Alstine is (as of today!) releasing a new pure tube DAC, called the Transcendence Eight DAC.  Details over at the AVA board.  Price $1249.
