Owners of "Giant Killers"?


We often read of folks who have heard "Giant Killer" products: amps, preamps, digital sources...

We also often read about products that are tried, and are "excellent and worth the audition", but are not chosen for the listeners's system because of a better product.

I'm wondering how many Audiogoners actually own a "Giant Killer"?

Has someone heard a component that offers great value, but beyond the dollar value offers perfomance that has truly been good enough to replace the "Giant"?

Sorry for the confusion. The DAC I bought was the ack! Dack! It replaced a Dodson 217 MK2.
All you non-Asians can get with Q-tips and vaseline, but us rice-eaters from the Great Wall of China gotta go with the handy dandy 47 Labs Mimi-Kaki.

I hope this doesn't start one of those Ear Candling discussions again.
I've never actually owned one, but the DIY version is certainly not beyond most of the folks posting here, and would be extremely economical. Here is the original, and legendary "Giant Killer" complete with some pictorial instructions, as well as documentation of proven results. Knock yourselves out!

That's high praise for the ack!Dack!, Marko445

Rar1, thanks for the PrimaLuna Prologue 2 info, as well.

I'm surprised there has been no mention of the new generation digital amps?
