Which enclosure One/Two or Melissa?

and will it make curly fries or just straight cut?

I am REALLY glad to hear that the Virtue DAC is moving forward. I had been looking at the Tranquility DAC pretty hard. But now I will wait.

If Virtue can do for the DAC world what they have done for the amp world....

Can't wait!!!

And be sure to send a pre-production DAC to OzarkTom for testing, he really knows how to keep a secret!

Just bustin' your chops, Tom!

Appreciate your contribution here and the tube you sold me.

Why is everybody always pickin on me?

Great news on the Dac, I am currently saving my pennies to buy one. I was hoping Seth would announce this before I did.

What?

That's it, I want the wedding present back.

Sounds great.

Hehe, hey Eddie.

I do know that our "new" DAC prototype (post Mardis) blows away anything that we've put it up against and you know our network and you know what we're using for A:B. Blows them away. That and we're not using a Sabre DAC (actual chip selection may remain confidential long-term).

When we'll be able to get it into production is a question I can't answer with certainty right now. Last year I refunded 5 deposits on the Mardis DAC.

This one is considerably better sounding, that's all I can say. I'll post when we have production prototypes to send around for listening tests and then I'll open up a discounted pre-order period.

We have a 12"+ blizzard going on here today, sure wish you had that pre-order form up for the Dac Seth.

I guess it is a great day to listen to the system.

That's it Tom, work him over. Stay after him, he'll tire before long and spill the beans....

yea...I will be getting my tax refund soon. Sure would like to spend it on a Virtue DAC - before my wife has a chance to spend it all

Cash the check and stash it under the mattress.

Guys,
Hold onto you nickels. The DAC is very special andI'm going to give y'all a sweet pre-order price. But I can't make you wait more than 90 days so it's just too early to pull the trigger. It's gonna be unreal

Must...not...buy...new...dac...must...h oldout...for...Virtue DAC...

Lots of new interesting DACs coming out lately, waiting is getting hard!

virtue · « **Reply #31 on:** 3 Feb 2011, 06:45 am »

buy something cheap to bide your time!

OzarkTom · « **Reply #32 on:** 3 Feb 2011, 01:24 pm »

I wish Tommy had a nickel. I do have $700 worth of pennies saved up. I wonder if that will be enough? I will keep saving.

At least more than 90 days, ohhhh, the pain of waiting.

virtue · « **Reply #33 on:** 3 Feb 2011, 03:55 pm »

That will cover the pre-order price certainly.

"That will cover the pre-order price certainly."

Seth.. you sweet talker you!

How do we do it?
How do we do it?
Step right up .. Bargains galore!
Three for a dollar!

Waiting patiently.

Also, looks like I will soon have a Cambridge Audio DacMagic for sale - in case anyone is interested

Who is the designer?

virtue · « **Reply #39 on:** 7 Feb 2011, 03:55 am »

J -
It's been a 3 year project and we've learned at each stage. Mardis and Dodd have had roles in the design, and there have been others. It's expensive to build but a really great sounding device. That's all I am prepared to say right now. Thanks for understanding.
