I recently purchased a used EAD DSP-7000 III DAC. This retailed for $2500 in the late 1990s. Like the newer Benchmark, it claims to reduce or eliminate jitter by a propietary circuit called "digital flywheel". It also decodes HDCD, which most current DACs lack.
The output stage is Class A using high speed Analog Devices AD841 Op-Amps. Nice touch as well. -- crooner Customized dual chassis "Super Squeezebox" EAD DSP-7000 MKIII DAC with HDCD VPI Scout with Benz Micro Glider M2 Audio Research PH3, SP16L and VS110 Vandersteen 2Ce signatures, 2W subwoofer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ crooner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3379 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34749 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
