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.

I heard it at Capital Audiofest and did not know it until reading about it here.  I heard the setup by Gestalt and was really impressed by the sound.  My focus was on the open baffle Cinnamon speaker which sounded fantastic.  I have no idea what the DAC contributed to the sound, but the system as a whole was impressive.

@larryi I heard the Cinnamon dac and speakers at Gestalt Audio and agree the music sounded fantastic.  I was also impressed with the build quality of those open baffle speakers. 

I also heard that same setup at CAF and didn't see this thread until now. I was wondering who the heck Cinnamon Audio was as those speakers were stunning looking as well as sounding great. Like @larryi I thought the system sounded great overall but didn't pay too much attention to the Galle Dac. I liked the other Gestalt room also and have liked all his rooms in the past at CAF Colin obviously has very fine ears.

I really look forward to reading the first review of the Galle Dac.  

@grannyring - Did you get yours yet?  Any further thoughts on how it performs and what it does well as a DAC?  I like the looks of it and I actually apprecate the absence of bells and whistles.  Like the Mojo Audio DACs, I believe it is more important that their effect is heard rather than seen.

I expect the dac early next week! Hard for me to be patient, but based on my extended audition it is worth the wait. I will share on the initial sound as well as the sound after break in.
