  1. I also would like to mention on back you have 2 analog inputs and even a preout for a sub and several gain settings to match your amplifier all the way from 0-to 9V, and their internal implementation of clocks for each channel not just one gives you a S/N ratio of over 120, and dynamic range over 110 with under 2 tens of one percent total maximum distortion .Accuphase, Esoteric, Lector, Lessloss and several other companies know how good these classic 1704 dacs are that is why they are still using these while they are still available.
  2. I can say this with confidence .I have been into modding gear way before it became trendy using better parts quality . With the Skylla 2 it has a whos whoes of some of the best parts in the world they took No shortcuts what soever this is in part why this unit is the most Analoglike digital cd player on the market and the 1704K dacs all done in a balanced configuration just adds to these classic dacs reputation these are out of production because of their time consuming nature being a true discreet multibit ladder dac and hand trimmed by laser the K version is the absoute best in all parameters. By having the best parts and this very shory signal path the heavy copper trace board is also Gold plated. The Capacitors are custom 1% units from Mundorf ,as well as the Kitimura Kiden R core transformers at almost 38lbs this unit is a tank.The preamp section is world class and having a 4tube Wave rectified power supply as well as a Single ended Pure class A line stage preamp in here makes for one superb combination and this unit can go to 24/192 all the latest down loads sound superb.I took my whole collection using DB Poweramp flac files to my 1T Seagate external harddrive then to the ExcellentBryston digital player the Wireworld Platinum USb, and Platinum XLR digital cable really allow my system to shine.I have no need to look. This is one complete digital setup and for once I am happy with digital no more glaring cds even crappy cds sound exceptable.
  3. I have the Bryston BDP using Wireworld s Platinum USb,and Platinum XLR cables to the Bryston Dac with excellent results.The best dac byfar as in most natural In my observation and others is Ayons latest Skylla 2 dac with Vacuum tube Power supplies as well as output stage .The BB 1704K dacs used in pairs in a balanced configuration are the best dacs Ever made and discontinued because of the high cost to make hand trim them. Give this dac a listen .Yes it is almost $9k retail but please remember it has a world class preamp section and multiple gain settings to match your amp as well as analog inputs.I have heard the Wiess as well as Berkeley very good but just not as 3 dimentional or involving . If just staying the course with cds then the Ayon dac5s is the cd version of the dac.
  4. I found this little gem while scanning looking for new Diamonds in the rough this digital interface truly works and from what I am told the digital transformer to isolate digital noise and components are first rate it is not only a clearer performance but also bettter inner detail and resolution my downloaded music goes through this to my dac RCA and it is made in the U.S.A for under $200 I find better than a 10% better overall performance and as a audio engineer for some 40 years he has one other thing for decent computer based speakers that is a guarantee I am told- Patent pending .I am still waiting for this release but for the moment check this out tell him PJ offered his recommendation . http://cgi.ebay.com/Digital-Audio-Iso-Interface-in-line-w-SP-DIFpreamp-DAC_W0QQitemZ320403090144QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a99832ae0&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
