I am new here and wanted say hello and ask a question. I just got a audiosector dac (it was already built) and am really enjoying the sound and wondering how it compares to the audial dacs or other nos dacs? Thanks for your help.

I totally missed this:doh:

I've heard the AYAII (in my own system) and I own the diy version of AYA.

To sum it up their excellent performers, my AYA has kicked the arse of some expensive commercial kit too;)
Theres a few very clever implementations in these dacs

I also built this which is closely based on the Audiosector dac http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1462
Its a nice performer but IMO the AYA betters it, personal opinion of course;)

Thanks for responding to this leo. I was wondering if you could elaborate on what it is you like more about the audial. Thanks again

I liked its depth and natural tone, piano's sounded very nice, decay, it makes a lot of other units sound electronic

Its well built and designed by somebody I really have a lot of respect for, the guy knows how to make nice sounding designs;)

I can confirm LEO's words, I also own the diy version...
