DAC1 - "If you are looking to improve your monitoring ...you really must audition the DAC1"

 "So, my overall impression of the DAC1 is extremely good."

"Its performance is quite extraordinary for the UK retail price, and it competes favourably against units costing considerably more."

"It is a very neat, well-designed package with an excellent feature set, including an internal mains PSU, usefully clean and powerful headphone monitoring, and the provision to configure the analogue outputs for fixed or variable levels."

"It can accommodate the roughest input signals with ease, extracting whatever sonic beauty is hidden within."

"If you are looking to improve your monitoring, or to hear what your A-D converters are actually providing, you really must audition the DAC1. I must warn you, though, that this will be hazardous to your wallet — because you'll have to buy it once you hear it. I did!"
