As always, these meetings are open to current members, new members, and anyone who is interested in listening to and learning about great audio equipment.

The topic for the meeting will be low-cost USB DACs.  The following DACs will be demonstrated at the meeting:

HRT MusicStreamer+
DevilSound V2.1 (new cryo version)
Music Hall dac25.2

Feel free to bring a laptop if you want to hear some of your own tracks.

We anticipate this to be the first of a two-part set of meetings focusing on computer-based audio.  The second meeting (date TBD) will look at higher-end offerings such as the Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC.

Chips and water/soft drinks will be provided, but you are welcome to bring other snacks / drinks to share.

Many thanks to Jeff for hosting the October 17 meeting.  I am just beginning to investigate computer-based audio and it was very helpful to listen to the three inexpensive dacs Jeff lined up.  I also enjoyed meeting fellow Circle members.  I understand that Jeff intends to post the results of our dac comparison, so I won't do that here.

Hi all.  I'm in Kensington, MD and just learned about this group.  I'm very interested in the Berkeley DAC, and would be excited to join you for that event, and of course -- more importantly --to get to know you all.  One thing though: why is the Berkeley DAC considered largely for PC Audio?  It seems like it should be a good all around offering that could be used with a transport as well?

Thanks,
