et un autre encore plus étonnant offrant le choix dans une seule bête: DAC à tubes ou transistors et étage de sortie à tubes!!! faut-il en rêver, il lui manque quand même l'entrée USB...
Monarchy Audio NM 24 DAC$1,590.00
The Monarchy Audio NM 24 is much more than a DAC.
It's three units in one package:
a tube DAC
a solid state DAC
a tube Line Amp.
The DAC is outstanding, with solid performance. It is then mated with a great tube output stage, which is then sent to a tube line amp.
Why is there a Solid State DAC in addition to the tube DAC?
Many customers want tubes for the liquidity
Others want maximum accuracy (from the Solid State)
Others want deep bass(easier attainable from SS) and a subwoofer outlet
Yet others want a coupling transformer that couples the SS DAC back
into the Line Amp section for an instant A/B comparison.
Others want to have a SS reference when they insert different tubes.
You may evaluate the sound of the Solid State DAC by
feeding its output back into NM24's tube Line In, either directly with
a good (short) RCA interconnect, or better still,
through a coupling transformer.
In either case, you have an outstandingly flexible DAC that you can tailor to your taste.
