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.

Thanks Bill. I actually thought the Tron had reach out and touch centered vocals.  I don’t recall the name of the Chinese female vocalist that Colin played some tracks of but to me she was as if she was right there.

The Tron dac is also special in that regard. As you know I own the Tron dac. It is a wonderful dac. Also greatly enjoying the Galle right now. Fun listening to both in my home 🙂.

When a PhD electrical engineer specializing in computing and fluid mechanics gets together with a guy with a masters in soil mechanics and they develop a DAC this is what it looks like wink Doesn't bother me at all; I like unique.

Galle

It is unique for sure.  Looks very nice in person.  Very heavy for a dac at about 55 pounds.

Thanks for taking the time to share your impressions. Your feedback comes as no surprise knowing your fine taste in gear and keen sense of musicality. Colin @gestalt knows how to pick his gear which makes it harder to stick around with our existing system long term…LOL!  

When he mentioned about Galle DAC, all I said, bring it on and let’s see if it can dethrone my superb Merging stack of DAC +PS +Clock. Not that I’m looking to buy another DAC but I am always open to hear the latest gear. Musicality is a constant in my choice of audio gear. If a specific audio component cannot convey music with its natural emotions, then it simply failed in its purpose regardless of its price of admission. I would like to point out, your rest of your system should be equally complimentary to take full advantage of a DAC like Galle or Merging. 

I remain interested in knowing if you’re going to make a switch to Galle 😊
