I just purchased the Galle dac after hearing it in my system. No, other $3000 dacs are not 99% as good. My goodness folks, please post here based on your actual experience with the Cinnamon Galle dac. My favorite two dacs up until this point have been the Tron Atlantic Signature and Mojo Audio Evo Pro with all possible upgrades. These dacs cost $12-$15,000 and are outstanding. The Galle just pleased my soul even more. Considerably more. This is a very special dac folks. One of those special pieces that one just can’t forget about after hearing.
Yes, you can buy some wonderful sounding dacs for $3500 and up. No doubt about it! However, dacs such as the Galle can certainly deliver far more realism and can be actually be worth the price in the right system and with the right person. Great big audio world out there!
The Cinnamon Galle dac will be at Capital Audio fest. The importer/dealer Colin of Gestalt Audio Design has two rooms #653 & #325. The dac will be in one of these rooms and most likely room #653. These rooms will include products from Cinnamon, Wolf Von Langa and some other interesting companies.
