Chord DAC 64

Gleeds, can you be a little more specific. I know it's Awesome, but what does it do that other DACs that you've listened to don't? Please let us know.

Ben,
It's coflicting articles like that one that makes me want to demo ALL equipment before buying... For all the equipment I've seen out there, there's always been somebody saying that it's the best under X dollars...
I value the opinions of Audiogon members more than that of magazine reviewers for my own reasons.

Buckingham couldn't agree more..............

According to the Hi-fi Choice review, there was a lot of
powersupply induced jitter from the Chord DAC 64.
The RAM buffer wasn´t used during this measurment, I think.
Chord has changed the powersupply of the DAC, to a switch-
mode one, if I remember right!

I am not impressed. Agreed with HF+ review. It may be OK for $3K, but ears tell me otherwise. Definitely don't buy it unless you hear it. However, there are a LOT of not so great DAC's out there, some of them highly promoted that I am also not impressed: (Kxxx, Dxxxxx, Pxxxxxxxx, Sxxxx Fxxxxxxxx, Mxxx Lxxxxxxx, etc) If you read my other post, I like the accuracy and musicality of pro gears like dCS and Apogee.
