The Link is to a Page that has a lot on exchanges about a Soekris DAC,
that was purchased as a device to further a Long Time User Vinyl Enthusiasts experience of using a DAC as part of a Source in their system.

The Thread is compiled of responses from a Group of individuals,
where some of the responses are from a few who have Numerous Years of Combined Experience in their Enthusiasm for HiFi.

offering a good appraisal.

Georgehifi,

Okay, a new Soekris DAC 1421 arrived at my house yesterday. Right out of the box it was ugly - thin, one dimensional, and bright. 

Twenty hours later and I am starting to be impressed compared to my old Theta ProBasic III. More detail across the whole audible range, I think, is translating into better ambience, soundstage, imaging, and liquidity.

So now that you have helped me to upend my apple cart; should I quit thinking about an end game DAC (for my price range) like a Bricasti, Metrum, Mojo Audio, or Schitt?😉
