I almost bought the A R dac 8 bought aftercarefully testing it against
The Weiss 202 and the new Skylla -2 dac The Skylla was a revelation
More 3 dimensional much to do with the 8 tubes init and the 1704k dacs 2 per channel are considered by many the best Ever made . Burr Brown
Stopped production of these in the late 90 s for these were just to costly got hand to hand trim .The build quality is the best I have seen , also the preamp section inside is exceptional and the equal to many very good
Preamplifiers at 35lbs. The 3 R core transformers from Japan are are custom built , the many Zmundorf capacitors are of 1 percent
A pure Clas A -0 feedback Design using 4-6 x4 rectifier tubes for the over built power supply, and 2- 6h30 super tubes per channel for the preamplifier section and there is even several gain settings to make this a good match For the majority of amplifiers out there. A great Analog
Sounding digital product that will compete easilly with the great turn tables
Without he hassles.I am using the Superb Bryston digital player and
Use a mpad app through my IPad . My whole library through a 1T
Seagate USB drive and even have all the album cover art, and choice
Of digital cables is very important . I am using the Wireworld Platinum
USB cable , as well as a Wireworld Platinim digital cable.
Now with current digital technologies getting better and 24-196
Down loads as well as 24- 96 master recordings this is the future and soon
Even Hi Rez thumb drives will be available .
