I received a phone call today from Erik Anderson of Full Compass. He has been a very good supplier for folks wanting to purchase the ART DI/O at a good price.He just got word that ART is no longer going to make the DI/O.
He had four on hand and ART had 2. That is it.
He did say that the higher ups at Full Compass were going to see if they could get ART to make one more run. He was not sure if that was going to happen. He will not find out any more for about a week.
The ART DI/O was and is a very good sounding D/A converter in stock form. Mods take it to a level that is hard to beat for the money.
ART has no plans to produce another D/A converter.
Follow Ups:
What a run it has been! The Mensa DI/O was awesome and gave me thousands of hours of great listening. It was by far the cheapest component in my system but it more than held its own. With it and a good transport (Cary 303) my system got to the point where it simply got out of the way and allowed me to immerse myself in the music.Congrats, Wayne, for taking a humble and inexpensive DAC and turning it into a giant killer.
By the way, I think I saw a post before that the SuperDac (M Audio?) uses the same DAC chip as the DI/O and that it responds as well (or better?) to mods?
