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.

@grannyring  Bill, I'd be interested in any comparison comments your may have between the Cinnamon DAC and the Tron Signature DAC that you had and really liked. I auditioned the Tron at Colin's , and while it was a couple of years back I still remember it. Since I largely spin CDs I went at that time with the Neodio Origine S2 CD player as I preferred its DAC's slightly smoother sound than that of the Tron. Anyway, I'd appreciate any thoughts you have between the Cinnamon and the Tron.

@facten The Tron really sounded good my system and we enjoyed it for a couple of years. Bottom line is the Galle is a very special piece that based on my listening experience transcends what I thought was possible from a dac. It delivers in spades on realism. No other piece of gear I have owned does realism at this level.
Yup, I am that over the moon with this piece. More muscular sounding than the Tron with a richness that is so engaging. You hear the resonate body of instruments that were previously missing or muted. I can honestly say one has to hear this in their system to fully grasp the experience it delivers.The Galle sorts out the simple and complex passages with an ease and flow that both captivates and relaxes you.

@facten You have an outstanding Neodio dac/cd player.  If you mostly spin CDs it is certainly a plus to have a great transport and dac built into the same piece.  No need for an extra power cord and digital cable.  Not sure how much streaming you would do? 

@grannyring Bill thank you for the response. Regarding streaming I don't stream at all, but if I decide to do  so I can add a streamer and use the Neodio if I wanted as it is designed to allow for streaming input as well.
