  1. Hi, yes sure, there was a group of about 30 of us in that room at the Scalford show, several of us RL friends, and between the 'wam forum & Facebook several of us have stayed in touch, and tried to follow the progress of a DAC that I suspect none of us had even heard off before our encounter there. I hoped adding some real world experience of a product which likewise most of you haven't directly encountered might be helpful, rarely have I seen such a collective shared reaction to a piece as I saw that afternoon All the best Matt ps, after doing a quick search for Lyngdorf here I'm delighted to find another forum where my beloved amp actually gets a few mentions, off to do some reading now
  2. Hi folks, I was alerted to this thread & as one of the lucky ones who were at a UK show run by a forum here, HiFi Wigwam, where the Veracity DAC was the outright star of the show, if I may offer my opinion (no connection to Veracity, and sadly I can't actually afford one lol).....but this DAC is one deeply remarkable device. There were many excellent systems to hear that day, and as a Vinyl & Valve amp merchant I went along fully expecting a system featuring both to be my "sound of the show". One wonderful hour listening to the Veracity DAC showed me otherwise, and there were some incredible vinyl rigs present! It simply makes you forget there's a format behind the music, you just immerse yourself in the music itself. During the hour we heard a range of music, I forget the classical piece, but my own request was Nick Cave & PJ Harvey's duet "Henry Lee", I have the vinyl, and this trounced that hand's down, the hair's stood up! Next up was the whole of DSOTM, an album that 5 years in a boarding school in the eighties had pretty much killed for me..... sounding like I've never heard it before. The perfect delineation in space of each part & player, the sheer level of both detail & the overall picture (the money pouring from speaker to speaker effect was simply astounding!), was breathtaking, and even more so if you remember this is under show conditions, strange room etc. The vocal on Breathe was a stand out, perfectly placed slightly to the foreground of the music, just where I suspect the engineer wanted it! I can't compare it to a bunch of high end DAC's, but I can compare to a Weiss DAC-202 & my current DAC, the in built one in my Lygndorf TDAI 2170, and compared to these, it should be on an audition list if you can, it sounds like no other digital replay I've ever heard, it simply sounds like music, and incredibly beautiful music at that
