Now that you rave about this Caiman DAC all the time i looked what it is. What is the kick-ass preamp stage? From the inner picture i found it is a simple OP amp. Besides that you can find many user reviews from raving its sounds like the best for its money to some that even find their Asus PC audio card more detailed. Nowhere i found real measurements to back anything up. Is there anywhere on the net? -- Wombat Transporter (modded) -> RG142 -> Avantgarde Acoustic based 500VA monoblocks -> Sommer SPK240 -> self-made speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wombat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86186 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
