August 3, 200916 yr So has anyone heard this goddamn thing yet? Doesn't seem to be much out there about it except the usual oohs and aahs.
August 4, 200916 yr 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...
August 4, 200916 yr Probably not. This thing is what, a million dollars? So... it's about time to sell your body on the streets for some MOAR DACS??
August 4, 200916 yr Author 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.
August 4, 200916 yr Two words. Stahltek Vekian. I guess I'm not entirely "over audio". That one made me drool.....
August 4, 200916 yr I'm going to bypass the DAC altogether and learn to listen to unconverted digital.
August 4, 200916 yr What's cool about the Stahltek Vekian? The casework. After visiting their site the urge passed entirely
August 4, 200916 yr I'm going to bypass the DAC altogether and learn to listen to unconverted digital. Beep Boop Beep.
August 4, 200916 yr Author 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.
August 4, 200916 yr If the difference between $20k and $14k is the difference between no and maybe, then you're a much bigger baller than I.
