By coincidence my Audiolab CDT arrived today. Unfortunately Captain Pugwash is still riding the high seas with me Soncoz.
The itchy bit has healed. I can't see myself buying another DAC. After a certain point (?) all relatively high-end DACs sound the same - and you're just paying extra for the 'extras'.
My Gear:
Source component/s:
Cambridge CXC Cd player; Inspire Apollo deck + Roksan Nima arm + Ortofon 2M Black; Denon TU-580RD tuner; Logitech Squeezebox Touch. Rpi with Volumio. RME DAC.
Amplification: WD KEL84+ valve amp; Rega Brio, Quad 306 (DADA modded, - in reserve)). Trichord Dino2 & Dino+ PS;
Wiim mini, Wiim Pro, Wiim ProPlus streamers
Loudspeakers:
Living Voice Auditorium IBX-R2.
Q Acoustics 2010 in the 'study'.
Cables/stands: Chords; Van Dammes 4mm
Any other hi-fi bits:
Apple MacMini Pro; Senn HD598, 467,
Linear PSs for Rpi and DAC. Pure mains conditioning.
