Audio Aero Prima DAC

If you can't find one used, then you may wish to check out the audiomeca enkianthus X dac. It uses the same anagram chipset, and it is very, very nice. Just something to consider, as the prima dacs used are very scarce.

I'm planning to use the Xindak FP-Gold as power cord for the AA Prima DAC. If I have them both , I'll do a new post with my experiences.

Hi guys,

I have the Prima for about four weeks. It gives a lot of detail and a big soundstage. But I'm having a problem: although the sound isn't bright or harsh, I get a pain in my ears rather quickly. This is very embarassing, since I tried different cables but this didn't help... Any idea how I could manage this?

Thanks,

Renaat

Can you be more specific about what this "pain" thing is? I cannot believe, for an instant, that the Prima is the problem.

I know it sounds unbelievable, but before I had the Prima, I used a Musical Fidelity Tubalog combined with the T20 and there was no 'pain'. It's difficult to explain in English but there is a kind of pressure on my ears which comes very quickly. Besides, I'm not the only one experiencing this 'thing'. I hope things will get better when burning in has completed...
