    What's the RRP? EDIT: looks like £2,950, which puts it right up against my Audial Model S with output transformers...

    Yeah, an option with mine... £3k makes for a lot of DAC though would love to hear Nick's new one & also the new Lampizator DACs, both using tube outputs of course.

    I believe there was an issue with early ones. Mine definitely improves the sound, no question.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    All the elco's changed for larger value Pana FC's and all the film caps swapped for Mundorf Supreme....all running of a bigger transformer too.
    Could have always been crappy valves I was using....don't recall what they were now
