I suggest
you look at the Prism Sound Callia DAC. I heard the Callia DAC at the
T.H.E. Show and liked it very much. I enjoyed its sound quality and its
functionality. The Callia DAC is fully
balanced and includes USB, optical and coaxial inputs. It also has XLR
outputs for connecting to a balanced amplifier. The Callia DAC also has a
volume control for going direct to a power amplifier and a 2nd volume control
for a headphone. A dip switch at the back of the DAC enables you to de-activate the volume control, if needed. Please see:
http://www.prismsound.com/hifi/products_subs/dac1/dac1_home.php http://www.prismsound.com/hifi/products_subs/dac1/dac1_spec.php I was very impressed its musical sound quality and also the people from Prism Sound. I ordered the Prism Sound Callia DAC and it is expected in three weeks (estimated). I wanted a DAC from a strong, experienced company that would support me and their products. Of course, the main thing is the DAC had to sound excellent and have the input connections I needed. These are some of the reasons why I purchased the Prism Sound Callia DAC. |
I also have a Bricasti M1 SE DAC for my audio system. It runs direct into my Hypex NCore NC400 Bridged Mono Block class D Power Amplifiers. I am not using a pre-amplifier. The Bricasti M1 SE DAC is an excellent sounding DAC and I like mine very much. The Prism Sound Callia DAC I mentioned above is for my video system using optical (TiVo cable box) and coaxial (Sony Blu-Ry player) inputs only (no USB input). |
