Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?

Hey Folks,

I did some searches and did not see anyone claiming to have the DAC+.  Saw one positive review from a site of which I am unfamiliar.  I prefer reviews where there is listening and testing so perhaps we will have to hope for Stereophile or HiFi News to get one but that will probably take some time.

I have a DAC+ on backorder with MusicDirect so hopefully any bugs will be exterminated before I get mine.  I am also hoping for more details on the circuit changes.

Hope you folks are well and good,
Robert

I have the Brooklyn, and it is my favorite < $5k DAC so far.

The only glitches I have found is that, rarely, switching to 96/24 from 44/16 it doesn't do that right, but this may be due to my streaming software. You will hear it start to distort, and get very sibilant.

Lastly, play with the digital filters. I have disabled MQA so I could choose other digital filters I like better. You should listen too.

Hey,

Thanks, but I was asking specifically about the Brooklyn DAC+ which is the updated one released in October.

I will definitely try the filter choices.

Take it EZ,
Robert

Has anyone directly compared the Mytek Brooklyn and Benchmark DAC3?  I'd be very interested in how they compare sonically as DACs, as well as their use as preamps.
