Gobikey, will do!
I think I have enough funds to order it today.
It should take a week to get here.
Best,

I think that's because people have realized that CD's are going to be
around for a much longer time than was once presumed, so there's a
scramble to really get the "perfect sound forever" that was once

Wright also mentioned the channel islands DAC coincidentially. But this
one is $600 plus extra for the better power supply.
The DAC-60 has int

Liked for the year I owned it, it was very much improved by using a
Bolder PS. I also tried a cheaper upgraded walwart, but no where near
as good as with the Bolder.
I had all the Bolder mods done, and it was better than anything else at
the price (of course, I had dropped about $550 into the mod

Ok it's final. I am going for the Lite audio DAC-60.
I thought Dan Wright's response about the ART DI/O was going to be more
enthusiastic. Basically he liked the DAC but finds it outdated compared
to others. I read between the lines.
Better spend more and get something that I won't be dissapoint
oh man I don't know what to do.
I got in touch with Dan Wright and he didn't even remember what mods he
had done to the ART DI/O!!! He said it was a nice DAC though. The seller
is local to me so I can pick it up in person.
However, I showed Dan GR Research's page with the Lite Audio DAC models
a
I am getting the ART DI/O. According to the seller a divider network was
installed by Wright as part of his mods. This reduces output to half or
3.5 volts, still higher than 2 volts but much more reasonable.
I'll post with my impressions when I get it.
Best regards,

Crooner, if you were interested in the Art DI/O, I think maybe you
should look at some other cheap DAC's, like Scott Nixon's Chi
Upon research I was not able to confirm the above statement [Benchmark
working on i2s], and can't remember where I read it.

I read somewhere benchmark was working on direct I2S input. I'm holding

hehehe yeah that's the one!
I also read about the highish output. I hope it's modded to reduce it
to the 2 volt standard...
The cosmetics are nothing to write home about. The chinese DAC-60 wins
in the "looks" department. Still, at half the price it's mighty
tempting!

Hmmm...I just saw one on Audiogon. If that's the one you're talking
about, you better get it before I do :) Seriously, though, I think
those are supposed to be pretty nice. The only caveat is that the
output voltage is rather high (7 V) on the stock unit, although from
the description, I think may
