In the article he compares it to some Esoteric gear but not a D-05.

In another article he trys the next model up and is amazed at what he hears.

listen to the first zanden, and, although not a dac, listen to the original lector, 20 bit.

new is not necessarily better. the forsell dac was high quality in its day. i wonder how it compares to current production dacs ?

my point i8s that although older dacs do not allow for high res files, some sound very good with redbook discs, especially, if they have a tube.

Ghasley, i just wonder what are your views about the MDA1000, is it still good compared to the newest models that came to the market??

The most amazing sounding DAC I have heard is the Lampizator Level 4 at about $5K. If you want USB add around $500. It sounds like great analogue on all kinds of music.
