May 15, 201412 yr comment_636112 Gotta agree with Jack here!!!!!!! I am very interested I how the HA-1 performs as a DAC. It would be sweet for the office. Report
May 20, 201412 yr comment_636732 I wear a 7 7/8 hat. After a haircut. Santa is the only person I know with a larger head. PM-1 felt great on my head. **BRENT** Indeed. Size 8 is sometimes tight... Report

May 21, 201412 yr comment_636888 "Insert" Hey, they're only trying to get the head part way in, so can't be that gay. Report

November 3, 201411 yr comment_659024 Yeah, I had it here for a week before sending it off to Rob. It's a solid amp/DAC at a bargain price. Worth $2000 pretty easily, me thinks. Report
November 3, 201411 yr comment_659025 Tyll, Do you think it is worth it just to use as a DAC with the DSHA-1? I'm currently using the Pico DAC + DSHA-1 in the office. Report
November 3, 201411 yr comment_659039 Tyll, Do you think it is worth it just to use as a DAC with the DSHA-1? I'm currently using the Pico DAC + DSHA-1 in the office. I hope you don't mind me answering this. For the same price, I would get a used NAD M51 to go with your DSHA-1 and don't look back. The HA-1 is a bargain for the price but it won't blow you over as a dedicated DAC or headamp. As a combo, it is an excellent value but it won't measure up to your DSHA-1 + good DAC. So I suggest you get a better DAC and stick with your DSHA-1 for a much better results. BTW, I've auditioned the Oppo HA-1 in person before and the built quality on this is just superb!

November 3, 201411 yr comment_659044 Most of my experience is using the HA-1 as a dac and headamp but I think it's dac section is excellent, also remember you can connect an ipad/iphone to it directly and it also supports bluetooth. Report

November 3, 201411 yr comment_659055 The problem is that I don't have the room for a full size DAC in my office. Well, the HA-1 won't be that desk friendly either. Its footprint maybe smaller than the M51, but it will take up more space than something like the Matrix X-Sabre DAC. Report
November 3, 201411 yr comment_659056 I'm not interested in the Matrix X-Saber Dac. I measured and do have room for the Oppo. Report
November 4, 201411 yr comment_659067 The line/pre outs are opamp based, and the headphone is class A. I read this review where he said he used the S/E headphone out with a Y-adapter to drive an amp, preferring that to the line/pre outs in back. Report
