penger Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Is that the monkey sound for "I'm going to get this next week"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Probably not. This thing is what, a million dollars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atothex Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Proprietary DAC chips sound pretty expensive, but what do I know? Alas, the SOTA still don't have word clock or asynchronus USB. Or even hi rez through USB. Almost as if quality and practicality are mutually exclusive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark baguette Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I can really see myself getting one if I don't end up finding a decent house this year. Or if closing costs are cheaper than expected. This no high-end-audio thing is killing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherwood Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'm going to bypass the DAC altogether and learn to listen to unconverted digital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark baguette Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 So I checked the Stahl Tek site again, and the 6 moons stuff. I thought I remembered it being $14,000, but $20,000 is definitely not happening. I've never had that much discretionary money in an account in my life. Maybe I read that $14,000 was the street price or some such. I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atothex Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 If the difference between $20k and $14k is the difference between no and maybe, then you're a much bigger baller than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
