I think I preferred the DAC-on-DAC action in that supertest, but each to his own.

Re: More DAC review action...

Wonder how it compares to the 64?

Just showed a picture to my girlfriend, who commented how similar it looked to my 64DAC. Would she notice??

Out of interest, did you listen to it with lossless files from a hard drive?

Re: More DAC review action...

I spoke to these jokers from Chord about the Gem. Aggressive or what? There was one chap that particularly got up my nose. Arrogant, misguided,.....(biting tongue)....

I'll create a new thread and post something a little more balanced and objective to capture the discussion soon.
