Dark Horse DAC

Doge Dac 7 MKII is probably not on your radar. Maybe it should be.

I took a chance and decided to buy it. Not completely broken in, but already

performing way beyond expectations. Check out the Doge website and read/watch the reviews. For me this DAC is a game changer. Comments??

I swapped out the original tubes with nos Telefunken and GEC. Have an R26 on the way to see what all the fuss about r2r's is about and will compare.

My hearing seems to be ultra-sensitive to brightness/glare and I didn't want to take the chance. Your Doge must sound amazing with the NOS tubes. I will probably try that at some point. Let me know how your new DAC stacks up.
