@mikhailark seems like this newer Supercapacitor technology has a lot to offer. I plan to read more about it as I find it interesting. Never heard the Terminator dac, but know it is well reviewed.
Check This Out!
Just wanted to make audiophile community aware, anyone looking for a DAC must check out Galle DAC from Cinnamon Audio. The feedback from two recent buyers was very inspiring and they bought the DAC after listening.
"The Galle DAC: we’ve crafted a DAC that delivers a natural, lush sound with remarkable dynamics and harmonic richness"
Cutting edge R2R, 27 bit ladder, laser cut the resistors to hit 0.1% tolerance; installed directly into the circuit board for a bargain price of $12,995
You can hear this DAC at Capitol Audio, courtesy @gestalt audio.

An innovative design concept! I've never seen a DAC made of concrete before—it should block all nuclear radiation and deliver exceptional sound quality. All of this for $1,299.90? An unbelievable price! We should definitely give it a try. Does the company offer a free home audition? I hope Stereophile gives it a listen first. |

@grannyring - Probably d1-Unity at $11,500 euros, maybe with the live power upgrade but that seems expensive for the modest improvement described in Lavorgna’s TM review. I would have interest in used units except he changes designs so much that I would worry about obsolescence. Also, I am not thrilled about the low output voltage of the former models. Most of their current models output a more reasonable 3.5v/7v rms into rca/XLR. Also, seems to be a somewhat subdued market for them here in the USA. |
