Preliminary info is on our website...more info and photos to come over the weekend.
On the VDA•2 product page, the link labeled "VRX•1 Balanced Cable Pair" is a dead link.
Dusty, is there any chance that you would consider adding a USB input to your DAC at somepoint?
Well, I've printed out the VDA2 product page and CIAudio's contact information, and stuffed both into my wife's purse. If that doesn't count as a "Christmas Present Hint" I don't know know what does.
It was good to talk to you. I managed to find the UK company you recommended - Angelsound Audio. I guess the VDA2 is so new, they wouldn't have it in stock yet so I'll wait until the New Year. I'd be grateful for any thoughts on the sonic characteristics between the old and the new units. Also, I have the Audionote CDT2 as well as the Pioneer 757 Universal Player as transports to try. How sestitive is the VDA2 to various disk spinners?
QuoteDusty, is there any chance that you would consider adding a USB input to your DAC at somepoint? Possibly at some point, but only if the semiconductor manufacturers come out with a high performance part for this purpose.Most current USB DAC's use the PCM2902 (or equiv) which has very mediocre performance.
Pardon my ignorance: is the PCM 2902 a DAC that accepts a USB type signal, or is it a device that converts a USB signal to SPDIF?
The new VDA•2 is now shipping in limited supply.-Dusty-
Would you consider putting together a system. CD transport.VDA-2 Dac and a VAC-1 power supply. I'm thinking that if it all comes from you it will be done right and a dumdum like me wouldn't have to be pissing up a fuzzy rope looking for the right CD transport.
I always suggest trying a few different digital cables as all transports/DACs are not exactly the same impedance. A well matched cable will have less reflection (cable induced jitter), resulting in a smoother, more open sound.
Incidently, how about optical interface? There shouldn't be any impedance matching problem, right?
