Parks Audio Puffin

Thanks johnto for starting this discussion and thanks jimofmaine and mschu for taking the time to responding to this thread. I may not have sounded like a fan of the Puffin, but I really am. And if I would not have the Budgie, I would have purchased the Puffin in a heartbeat.

I think the Puffin is going to do just what the Budgie did and them some. The Budgie at its price point was called the ’giant killer’. And one thing I know is that ’audiophiles’ love a clean transparent sound and I believe schu is correct as he has one heck of a rig to test the Puffin and put it through its paces.

Right now not many have posted to this thread but with folks like you guys here to give us all a heads up, I’m sure this will be one long thread that will last a long time. In fact I believe the Puffin will have many a buyer who can afford a much more higher priced component but will end up buying the Puffin for its quality of sound reproduction alone. I think this little thing called the Puffin is going to scare the bageebers out of the competition.

Hello, have any Puffin owners compared it to Lounge Audio LCR III? Does it really play in that league?

Dear @tyray: """  Right now not many have posted to this thread..."""

well this is an analog forum and DSP is an " intruder " here but really interesting item.

I know that was designed and builded to a price point but I wish that the DAC were choosed 32/384 instead 24/96.

I had the opportunity to listen the Devialet Expert 440 that's a very high price digital unit ( over 18K. ) using 32/192 format and sounds/performs great and you can't tell if what you are listening is in the digital domain: who cares !.

Digital advanced so much today. ! ! 

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

some guys I know with pretty decent ears ( Gig Harbor Audio ) think pretty highly of it.....given it’s low ¥£€$ entry point, I will most likely give it a spin.....why not ????????
