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 
Doesn't bother me at all; I like unique.
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 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 😊 |
I will report back on where I land with my system. The Galli also serves up music with lots of texture, body and weight. I find this attribute often missing in digital playback. The Galli delivers a muscular sound if you will. Muscular is the best word I can come up with to describe what I am hearing. It certainly is part of the reason this dac sounds so complete and right to my ears.
