    Default Audial dac?

    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

    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
