    Default Heads Up - 32bit 192khz Dac

    Richer Sounds are doing these for £149

    Total bargain or what

    I'm just trying one out now....

    The specs are great, but the sound is of questionable quality. Richer is dumping them due to lack of take up by the serious DAC listeners. I think that TEAC overloaded the design with extra electronic features that had a negative impact on the audio output quality. A shame really.

    Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

    DIY is fine and dandy, but just try selling it on!

    My Mrs' brother has two of them, one upstairs one downstairs. It's actually a very good sounding dac, for under £200 it's a stone bargain, not so much at its full MSRP. It certainly isn't shamed within his Exposure set-up. It's better via the spdif than it is via the usb

    Not sure what extra electronic features Stanley is talking about. It's just a dac with a USB input, no fancy software, multiple filters or a volume control- just an honest dac using BB best chips. Same chips as in the Young dac actually, except the TEAC runs two of them in dual differential mode.

    Cannot blame Stan for poo pooing it, as is is similar in price to his, I ordered one today so I will have:-

    Furutech Esprit
    Audiolab M-Dac
    Bushmaster
    Teac
    Touch with PSU using analogue out

    perhaps you should pop round for a session Simon?

    It looks beautifully made and finished with just a wee hint of the Esoteric about it.
    Regards Neil
