New Accustic Arts V3 Tube Dac anyone heard?

Teajay I am still trying to get as much info. as possible while awaiting for arrival of the unit but as you know there really is nothing. Can you give some info. on the design, what do the tubes operate etc?

Look foward to reading your review, are you enjoying your Stealth product?
Thanks

Dev, I wish I could answer your question regarding the hybrid tube design, but alas I cannot. I do know that it is the first DAC not to use tubes in the analog output stage, but how the tubes are used in the overall design I don't have a clue.

Regarding the Stealth Indra and Metacarbons they are the best wires I have ever had in my system. That also includes the digital Sextet cable.

By the way I tried the Oracle transport in my system and found it to maybe be a smidgen more resolving then the AA Drive 11, but not significantly better to mandate the expenditure for my system.

Any pics?

teajay, do you know if this dac will take multiple inputs? I would like to use with my transport as well as my digital music server. Thanks in advance.
