which DAC to buy ?


If refinement is the first priority, which DAC would be your choice:

Dodson D-263
Kora Hermes (last version)
Audiomeca Enkianthus
Audio Aero Prima
Electrocompaniet

I know what ever I say it will be deemed as colabration with
Iasi but as far as I know we have never talked.Sounds like the Kora is not all it's cracked up to be by the importer and a few users if it can't out perform a under 2000.00 cd player.
The Keops just dropped in price. Was sold for $2800 just a couple of months ago. When you sold the 18 bit (older) Kora it sold for more than $1000 over the current price. Mr. Iasi has still not responded to whether or not it was an older Kora or one of the newer models. I would say that is pretty significant as many of the owners of the older series have upgraded and bought the newr ones. All having said that it was a huge improvement. The newest with Auricaps etc. even a bigger improvement. As I originally stated must be tough to have to issue a challenge to a unit which costs more than half the price of the Audiomeca. Customer could buy a nice transport, Power cable and digital cable for the difference.
i believe it was the older version, but i'm not too sure...and everybody is right...people have different tastes regarding audio...for some people Kora might be the way to go, for me? i'll stick with my Keops...
