Hi Guys
A guy out our way got a hold of a Phasure DAC:
http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/xxhighend/1.htmlIt has been taking all before it.
We tried it against a PDX, WFS, Chord QuteHD, and Playback Designs and easily bested all those.
The latest test, and this was a surprise, was against DSD with the Playback Designs, which was the best digital many of us had ever heard. The report from the guy that did it, and what prompted this post, is it bested that as well.
Its just so clean, clear and pure. It seems to get better as it warms up and really needs to be on all the time. As it warms up it gets sweeter.
There is a DAC GTG in the works where it will be pitted against a PDX, Killer DAC, and the top of the line Playback Designs which should be very interesting.
The other interesting thing about the DAC is its the first DAC any of us has come across USB cables make zero difference with. I have heard plenty of claims that such and such a DAC is immune to USB cable difference eg Playback Designs makes the claim, but this is the first where it actually proved to be true.
We had a listening session last Saturday against a modified WFS. It was so strikingly better the guy has just posted on the forum here he cant stand it any more and ordered one.
Personally I will be waiting for the GTG before making a decision - but this is one interesting DAC.
Thanks
Bill
