Check This Out!


Just wanted to make audiophile community aware, anyone looking for a DAC must check out Galle DAC from Cinnamon Audio. The feedback from two recent buyers was very inspiring and they bought the DAC after listening.

"The Galle DAC: we’ve crafted a DAC that delivers a natural, lush sound with remarkable dynamics and harmonic richness"

Cutting edge R2R, 27 bit ladder, laser cut the resistors to hit 0.1% tolerance; installed directly into the circuit board for a bargain price of $12,995

You can hear this DAC at Capitol Audio, courtesy @gestalt audio.

Almost $13K is an absurd price! Add up the parts cost and I doubt they cost even 25% of the price. DAC's are the equivalent of sound cards. Those can be built for less than $100. Charging five-figures for a DAC is legal robbery!

Even paying four-figures for a DAC these days is not necessary. There are  excellent DAC's available for three-figures: SMSL, Topping ... more!

No Issues with the DAC, each to their own.

I also am a advocate of selecting materials for structures used in Audio that do assist with managing energies being transferred    

Does a DAC need to have such a excessive process used for producing the Casing?

Surely alternate Industry Standard Materials that are not solely produced for one tole only could have been utilised?  

What does the Company offer as a Carbon Neutral Offset for all that energy needed to create the Molten Metal, for a few Bespoke Produced Cast Casings? 

Looks Like the Wax is used to prevent Oxidation in the form of Verdigris, being the Green Coating collected on Copper or a Alloy with a Copper contained.    ,
