Introducing ApplePi DAC -- Highest Performance Raspberry Pi DAC
« on: February 04, 2018, 11:30:23 AM »
I will soon be launching a new DAC for the Raspberry Pi. It will be called ApplePi DAC.

With the upcoming release I am also looking for reviewers.

If you are interested in reviewing please contact me with the following information:
1. Where will the review be published?
2. How many visitors do you expect to have visibility of the review?
3. How long will it take to do the review once you receive a unit?
4. Have you done other reviews of Raspberry Pi Products, do you have any links to examples of your work?

Questions/Comments also welcome.

Price: $200 USD, at launch available for $175

The link to the website is not working when I just tried it.

The one in the signature works correctly.

I want to fix the links, but I cannot find a way to edit the original post...

The bad link is in the first post in the thread.  It is the first time the website is shown in that post.

I am running a bit behind schedule, because reviewers have not finished the reviews yet. Will be another couple of weeks before kickstarter launch.

Check out the first ApplePi DAC review by The Audio Beatnik​:

"Ok, specs are great and all, but how did it really sound? Frankly, very good, surprisingly good."

and

"The mid-range and truthiness of the music rivaled that of the other DACs I have on hand that cost significantly more."
