New Quality USB DAC (upto 24/92) available

[Millennium]

EDIT: Apparently the full price is £102 so I have cancelled my order (hopefully).

Hi there

No I am not making this Just stumbled upon it on reddit. Looks very interesting and great performance for the price. I have ordered mine already - £60 preorder price, expected some time in may, free delivery.

I think there is no case which is a bit of a bummer but the quality looks good and a lot of thought has gone into the design. I think I will find some good use for it!

Any thoughts on this? I have high hopes. I will probably use it at work mainly where my great headphones are let down by Dell onboard audio...

Read a few of this guy's blog posts before and interested! I am baffled by some of the DAC prices really

Have you look at some of the Tripath based DACs on Ebay?? There are plenty which are well under £100 delivered and they come with a case too.

I thought tripath was a set of amp chips? I was actually looking at getting

Would make a nice match for the above dac.

p.s uk link for the dac http://epiphany-acoustics.co.uk/ looks like they are putting it in their own nice looking enclosures

I have two TA2020 based amps which I'm very happy with, the first is a SMSL SA-S1 and the second a Topping TP20 Mk2, I bought both off the bay for £35 and £50 delivered respectively. I currently have the Topping TP20 amp hooked up to my laptop docking station (sans DAC so to speak) powering Cambridge Audio S30 speakers I bought from the Hexus classfields not long ago, I prefer the Topping over the SMSL but I'm not audiophile enough to describe why.

I've got a FiiO E10 myself and it's pretty decent. I guess this will be a notch higher than the E10. Personally I'd prefer the E10 as it costs the same price but it's "end user ready".

If they can have a version with a half decent case for less than £10 I think it'd sell well.

It looks like they are offering the bare board to DIYers for £60ish, then a finished product to the mass market for £100ish?

Depends really if the case is to your liking and whether you can do any better for less than £40. Still, up against the competition's pricing, if it does what it says, it is still a veritable bargain...

Looking at the specifcations it does look quite a decent DAC chip which they are using. The chap also mentions he is working on a combined DAC and headphone amplifier too.

I wonder how well the DAC will match with my MF X-Cans or Little Dot II?? OTH,since I use a pair of SR125 headphones driving them should not be an issue.

Anyone got this??
