This rare reference Dac from Danish Audio Design is only build on request and represents "state of the art, worldclass",better than Audio Note Kondo, Zanden and others wellknown brands!
Far superior to everything on the market!
You will never find a better sounding dac as this one, it?s made by the finest materials and with the philosophy "less is more"!
By combining the best digital components and highgrade printboard with virgin alloy made for space technology and the "old technology" with rectifier tube and output 6sn7 tubes you have the right feeling of measuring well and sounding excellent with the soft, musical and yet detailed punchy tubes!
You get all the best from two worlds...
The digital end the tubes (analog sounding) and together it is just magic, believe me!
To avoid many of the known problems in "one-size cd-players" and it contain 3 seperated boxes as follows:
1. PSU 10 With huge power supply!!(110v or 220v)
2. DAC 10 Upgraded version also with own box
3. TUBE 10 Instead of using the output stage from DAC 10 it has it's ownbox
The connection between the 3 units is made by following cables!
You can combine several different tubes for the rectificer and find what is your taste, though we have suggestions you could try out at first, but youcan use 5U4 or similar.
The output itself is based on a 6SN7 tube which is a very god soundingtube, and a lot of different tube's are available, just google for 6sn7.
This is the finest dac ever made and Danish Audio Design has been known in business for more than 25 years, formerly known as Ontech and the founder Ole Nielsen has made different dac combinations for some of the most expensive and esoteric brands in the world but this tube dac 10 is his best ever made!
How does this tube 10 ref. dac sounds?
well very analog indeed and literally speaking if you take a Verdier analog together with a Grandezza DaVinci tonearm and an Airtight 1 pick-up you have a feeling about this tube 10 ref. dac because the sound is very "analog" with air, live feelings, details and harmonic blooms, you just have it all.
Nothing is missing and you just want to listen to all your cds again and again and believe me it is very amazing to make that experience!!
So if you want the very best nomatter cost no object you should try this outand I know for sure it has been tested by several brands against DCS, Vitus, Burmeister,Audio Note KSL, Gryphon, Zanden you name it and each and every time they return to Danish Audio Design.
