@dlcockrum Thanks for that recommendation. Upon a cursory review of http://www.exogal.com/index.php/products I note clicking the comet plus dac image produces a page not found error. http://www.exogal.com/index.php/products/comet-plus-dac Granted that could be and likely is temporary. Also there are reviews and other data on different sites. On such site https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2015/12/06/review-exogal-comet-dac/ would have me believe the MSRP is $2995 and that is without the upgraded power supply. So, if you bought new you likely have a great deal and if used with the $500 extra power supply again you may have bought into a great deal. They only have three US dealers, none of which are local to me. I note the rear of the unit does have a USB A input. Can you confirm/deny whether or not it can "plug and play" if a flash memory stick with music files is inserted. Again, thank you Dave. |
Hi gdhal, Try http://www.exogal.com/index.php/products/comet-dac You have the list price right at $3500. I actually bought mine used for less than $1500 with Wywires umbilical upgrade and full warranty. I saw new ones selling for under $2k recently, but apparently they sold over the past few days. Have not personally tried a memory stick yet, but Exogal CEO Jeff Haagenstad responds to emails in a few hours or less and I have found him to be pleasant, honest and extremely helpful thus far. He has offered Audiogon members a special price recently on another thread here. Update: The USB A connection on the rear of the Comet is for charging devices like your iPad or phone, not for memory stick input. My Aurender has the memory stick input feature so I never paid much attention to it before. Dave |
