Ok, so after some serious deliberation I'm thinking about parting with my much loved AT Concord dac. It's an absolutely stellar performer and I chose it ove the Lampizator Big 7 when auditioning both as it was a better all rounder, although vocal performance and instrument timber was a little better on the £8k Lampi it just didn't cover all music genres I listen too. I also sold my £7k Totaldac to purchase the AT which was practically a no brainer!

Connections are vast:

Digital inputs include
RCA Coax
BNC Coax
AES/EBU
Optical
USB
I2s over HDMI

Outputs

RCA Unbalanced pair with ECC82 tube buffer
XLR balanced solid state

The design was heavily influenced by Graham at Trichord Research and Tony Sallis of Coherant, performance is fantastic, it's such a great all rounder!

Here a review by me:
