Birdland Odeon Ag DAC - how good is it??

Call Paul @ "Ultra Systems" a Birdland authorized distributor located in New Hope, Pa.

I spoke with him last week, as the Odeon Ag is on my list also!

They have a loaner/trial w/ the reclocker which they will ship so you can try it out in your own system.

They charge your credit card, ship the unit, if you like it they will send you a new unit upon returning the loaner. If you do not, you pay for all shipping charges. Which isn't bad, as the unit weighs 3-4lbs.

They are listed on Birdlands authorized distributor page, & their price is too low to mention on here!

This is the only dealer I have every heard of who is so easy to deal with. I purchased a few Balanced Audio Tech. items off them, with the same try it at home route. Very satisfied, smooth transactions!

So since you can't find more than 1 or 2 reviews on this dac, what do you have to loose?

Good Luck!

Contact Perrotta consulting a dealer here on Agon. He has the DAC plus carries the Audio Note and Audio Logice DACs. He recently told me that the AL DAC was the best he heard so he may be able to help you understand the differences.

Hope this helps, he is a very nice guy to deal with and Happy Listening.

I'll have to retract my praise for Paul @ Ultra Systems, as he wouldn't honor the price on the Birdland he quoted me.

I second Bigkidz, as I bought one off Anthony Perrota at Perrota Consulting. Anthony is a very easy guy to deal with, friendly, helpful.

Very smooth transaction, & ABSOLUTELY NO DRAMA!

Audiobugged,

Thanks for the update! Appreciated.

Folks, Perrota IS NOT an authorized Birdland Audio dealer. If Ultra Systems are of no help to you, the please let us know (Birdland Audio) at info2(at)birdland.com - We will be glad to see what we can do to help you get service.

The Odeon-Ag is still to this day the best sound quality/price value you can get, even if we say so ourselves. But don't trust our word on it, try it out! With the reclocker board upgrade installed, the Ag beats the Audio Note at 5x its cost. And if you really have money burning your pockets, then you should try our new Platinum DAC.
