bjeff;

For context purposes which non "state of the art" "$1,000" DAC are you using

  Using the iRoc. Very very impressive.

    Thanks bjeff
    
    This is a great thread! Now in terms of USB DAC performnce and overall value, it begs the questions - does the $1495 iroc WITH Synergistic cable outperform say the V2 (non ASYNC) Wavelength Cosecant (which I happen to use). At this point I'm trying to decide whether the ASYN upgrade on the Cosecant will be worthwhile in view of the iroc performance.
    
    Mercman, maybe you can weigh-in on this since you have been through pretty much all of Gordon's DACS and now have the new ASYNC models for comparison. How would you think that the ASYNC Brick would compare to the non-ASYN Cosecant? How about the V2 Brick versus iroc?
    
    Thanks in advance

      dSpringham is correct on the new price of the iRoc. I purchased mine before the price increase.
      
      As Mercman indicated hope to have some comparison information re: iRoc and Brick V2 (ASYNC) within a week.

      dspringham,
      
      Its been a long time since I heard a Cosecant. I think the review of the Brick v 2 will help you.

      We are in the process of comparing the new Brick to the iRoc. The Brick needs some more break-in time. bJeff and I are working on this together. I will be writing a review on the new Brick once I have a handle on it. The iRoc will be discussed in this review.
