http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?dgtlconv&1231765020&/Diyeden-Great-March-II-PerfectIt is quite impressive looking and the chassis alone is worth the asking price. Couple that with great sound and versatility and you have an awesome DAC.
Selling because my children can't be bothered with flipping another switch (Ipod crowd with an attention span of nil, but I digress;-)
True balanced outputs - no head amp and no USB forced DIYEDEN to concentrate on the DAC portion. What a relief - you will not be disappointed. Worth listening to just to hear the imaging magic show.
From the website:
The Great March 2 is designed for maximum transparency and is well suited for audiophile quality high end playback systems. The PCM1798 based Great March 2 Xilinx chip re-clocks the signal and uses a unique algorithm to preserve the original signal as much as possible. This approach greatly reduces jitter produced by either the transport or the incoming cable.
Next the signal is fed to a TI SRC4190 sample rate converter to up-sample the signal so the PCM1798 can convert in a more linear fashion making digital filtering "easy on the ears". This technology makes the Great March 2 ideal for critical applications where only the highest level of performance will do.
Excellent sound with Coax,AES/EBU and optical inputs; balanced and RCA outputs. Comes with original optical cable, power cord and box (will be double-boxed for safe arrival) and I'll include the original manual. It's in chinese but has lots of figures. It is plug and play anyway so not necessary.
