I own the Lite Audio DAC-83 and LT-1 transport...they replaced a McIntosh MCD-500, and for CD only they easily bettered the Mac. In fact I was about to upgrade to the new (then) MCD1100 when I found the Lite gear.
I just didn't get into SACD but have a very large CD collection and so was looking for a player that would challenge my vinyl front end and keep me interested...the Lite did that in spades.
Listen I could list quite alot of new uber highend players that I have had in my home that the Lite will easily better for CD only...sheesh, shouldn't you hear one before you make such silly comments as these - "These DAC's are sonically not competitive (unless heavily modified) with real high end gear (or even quite low end modern day stuff)."

I heard more than one. Modified more than one too.
If that makes me silly...

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to untolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
on DAC's that according to you can't even compete with today's low end gear???
I've heard the player from your company and I am very aware why you would be afraid of a company like Lite...they are producing gear that competes and/or exceeds the caliber of your "stuff" for pennies on the AMR dollar.
It takes a bit to find, but you should invest a bit in locating Lite's site, not exactly a little DIY group in China.
It's disappointing that a manufacturer would spread such shite...you really should be ashamed.
Hi,
...most of their current product range dates back to the days when I was doing modifications. And yes, that is ruddy long ago.
Nor have I been the only one who found their products great platforms to modify, but rather wanting stock. You may want to do your homework who was supplied by Lite for the bare bone machines which were then modified.

You are talking about this site:
http://www.lite8.com/category.php?action=03000000
????
It takes seconds to find.
> not exactly a little DIY group in China.
Note I wrote about Lite Audio's origins:
"Originally some Chinese DIY group, IIRC."
> I am very aware why you would be afraid of a company like Lite...
If I was afraid of Lite audio, do you REALLY think I would mention their products or recommend them? I'd surely do everything to keep them quiet.
If you like what you hear from their stuff better than what others make, enjoy and have fun. It's a free world. Well, some parts of it anyway.
