Don't see much coverage around since it was released a few days ago, but the price is right for a lot of uses. Anyone heard anything pro/con?

I saw its existence, that's about all I can say.  If I had the dosh, it'd be worth trying.

What if you were Batman? 

Batman does not listen to music, much less on headphones -- it would prevent him from hearing Alfred sneaking up on him.

First look: not very stealth, those flat faces and lots of nooks and crannies will make it stand out with radar.

 

Sexy though...

Lollers, that's particularly funneh coming from you.

Looks pretty nice.  I probably would've tried one out for use on the desktop but now that I have the DAC2, I am content.

Shelly, you got a Benchmark DAC2?  Tell me more.

 

 

And this Emotiva DAC has my interest, of course.

Yes tell us more about the DAC2 please.

Yes, the Benchmark DAC2.  I probably should have stated that since there are probably a large number of DACs called "DAC2".  

 

It is small and black and sounds good and plays hi-res stuffs.  I like it. 

 

Haven't done any comparisons with the PWD mkii.  I think I may slightly prefer the PWD mkii but not positive.  More science is needed. 

Science is good!

 

I ended up picking up a DA11 at the same price as the stealth, which was my second choice. I believe the stealth uses two AD1955's if I'm not mistaken, same chip in the DA11. Curious to see how the implementation differs.

I can't find shit on this anywhere but Emotiva's own forums. And even then, it's mostly getting compared to just the XDA-2. At least people seem to think it's worth the extra $$$.
