Don’t mean to nitpick, but the manual states "just short" of 2 billion micro farads.

"The Model II is the answer to a persisting question: what happens as power delivery approaches perfection?

The Model II physically separates the power supply, uses three custom transformers to feed three individual power channels, and employs just short of two thousand Farad of filtering capacitance. That is over two-hundred thousand times the usual values used for these voltages. While the care in implementation needs to be great, the result is a better, cleaner window into the music."

A Coda 16 has 280,000 micro farads of capacitance, and it supplies 100 amps of current-per channel. In bridged mode it provides 600 watts. Seems rather excessive for a DAC to need 7,000 times this amount, unless there is typo? But what do I know about designing hifi? (don’t answer that)

I hope it utilizes bleeder resistors; it would be unpleasant to be vaporized when poking around inside something like that.

Not a typo or mistake. It is part of the design. Just under 2000 farads. Other design features of both models are on the website.

Cinnamon is not likely to show internal pics as they are trying to protect some innovation under the hood. Both models do not have a conventional analog stage, but rather use a more direct output method.

I read your 6 dac review thread and you did a wonderful job! I also owned the Mojo Audio Evo Pro which Ben helped me upgrade it with all possible upgrades. I did most of the upgrade work including installing Belleson Op amps, Lundahl amorphous chokes, better internal wire, additional shielding/dampening and other bits. Ben makes fantastic dacs and the Evo Pro is one example.

I thought it was going to be my last dac as it sounded so natural, unforced and has that wonderful bottom up sound with great body, foundation and fullness. Many good dacs can’t match the Evo Pro in that last area.

Then I listened to the Tron Atlantic Signature dac and it was the first dac that moved me even more than the Evo Pro. Improved realism and a purity of sound that the Evo Pro could not match. The Tron had me and my wife in tears as it emotionally connected to some of our favorite music in a special way. I purchased the Tron🙂.

As an FYI, I also had the Merason Dac 1 mkII for in home audition, but preferred the Evo Pro slightly.

When we heard the Cinnamon Galle dac we were smitten. It elevated my digital front end in ways that surprised me. The Galle is the rightest sounding digital piece I have ever heard. You find yourself listening with the heart and turning off your mind. No more listening for this or that audiophile sound adjective. The music sounded so real and enjoyable. No matter how loud or how mediocre the recording, we found ourselves relaxing into the music and hearing many recordings for the first time. The mighty Tron was unseated and we could not go back. My wife knew what we spent to get that Tron dac and she knew the price of the Galle, however she said the Galle is just too special to ignore. We purchased the Galle 🙂.
