Antelope Zodiac Gold - anyone have or heard one?

Some audiophiles in Hong Kong even claimed that Berkeley DAC & PrismSound Orpheus could not win ZG. Uncertain whether this is 100% correct.

I guess if ZG & DAC202 are connected directly to a Mac during the shootout, the result can be different because firewire will have the advantage of lower jitter.

Ckkeung, have you tried the Voltikus with zodiac+ combo?

I own a zodiac+, and picked up the w4s dac2 a few days ago for my other setup...

Just bought a Zodiac Gold with Voltikus..wont have better power cabels yet but will..after setup i will posy my thoughts

Hi Zugisland - thanks for posting on this thread. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the Zodiac Gold+Voltikus power supply, especially compared to any other DACs you may heard or have laying around. By the way, I've heard that it takes >500 hours of burn in for it to sound best, just FYI.

I have had a ZAG for about a month now buy just received the Voltikus a few days ago. It is connected to a Mac Mini server and a Sony 9000 SACD player via optical. Oustanding DA, Voltikus is a must have. I feel it beats the Esoteric X3SE and highly modified Sony SCD1 I had previously. I primarily listen to vinyl, but using Pure Music 24/192 in memory mode the gap is closing. I am using a Kimber Pal PK10 power cord.
