Check This Out!

@lalitk ...you may be in for a long pause for that experience....

I thought the dipole speaker had a nice 'look' overall, esp. the amt housing.  The main frame looked a little rough, but since the dac cases looked like cast concrete, so.....

Designers go off on tangents that may become trends despite how one thinks about the trend....*L*

“actual experience” is not a requirement to post on forums, unfortunately

If he’s both distributor and dealer on this product as well, his margin will definitely cover home demos. Listen for yourself at home, forget show conditions.

Be sure you like it, this will have minimal value on the secondhand market…

Greetings to everyone.

I have heard this DAC in two setups (including my own - I purchased it). To those for whom the price is "silly" let me say that I have heard DAC's four times the cost of the Cinnamon Galle (dCS Vivaldi) and much more (top-of-the-line MBL). I have an audio system (photo available on this forum) that includes Alsyvox speakers and New Audio Frontiers Stradivari 211 monos. No matter the cost, I haven't heard digital conversion match the Lp front end I am lucky to own - until I heard the Galle. All those who have heard it have had the same reaction. Of course, there are those for whom the price is simply out of the question - that's a different issue - but in the era of six-figure DAC/Clock systems, this is simply an outstanding product. Oh - and no, I have zero link to the Portuguese company that produces it nor any financial interest in the audio store in Nashville that is the dealer. I just enjoy wonderful (mostly classical) music. Of course, my hearing, and that of my audiophile friends, is just our opinions. If you have the chance, however, I do strongly recommend listening for yourself. Thanks for your patience with this long posting.
