Digital Audio Denmark DACs

Mine is in Fedex;

Should be here on Saturday;

I hope to get it connected via the Weiss Minerva over the weekend. Then I will burn it in for 24 hours a day for 7 days - playback through the computer & will listen to it
after 1 week on next Sunday.

I shall write a detailed reciew on the DAD - AX24 - http://www.digitalaudio.dk/ax24.htm

My resident ref machine is a Meridian 808i.2.
Wonder how this will stack up.

I shall stay tuned...

I would like to know whats the best up-sampler one could use to up-sample red book to dsd and feed it to the DAD-AX24?

Best Regards,

Satyam Bachani.

Just get the Playback Designs MPS-5.. that's what I did. I only use my AX24 for it's A/D and mic pre side.
The PD MPS-5 upsamples everything to DSD.

Got my DAD - AX24.
Installed it.
Kept it playing for 5 days.
Should have a few hours on it - by now.
Out of the box it was a 'bit rough'
Played it - did not do any 'critical' listening for a while.

Just changed the cables;
Now, I feed both the Meridian 808i.2 & the DAD with same power cords & interconnects - Echole Obsession.

Is this close;
Damn close - right now.

The 'bass' on the DAD is a 'bit faster'
The 'vocals' on the 808i.2 are a 'bit smoother'
Overall 'resolution' goes in favour of the DAD.
The 808i.w is a bit more 'musical'
I would like to invite some audiophile in Mumbai [India] to drop by for a 'listen' !
Can I choose 1 over the other ?
Not right now - need some more time to get it all fully 'optimised' & small tweeks here & there;

I will write some more - in a while. Stay tuned....

Have not auditioned them but I have heard good things about them.

My dealer that imports Weiss products imports DAD. He told me the Weiss Medea (DAC 1) is clearly better.

Just my 2 cents.
