hI gordan , What happen you ask me ? it's simple a listening session against a LESSLOSS Dac 2004 , same analog sound as the aaltman but with the transparancy, dynamic and huge soundstage of the audioaero , you can ask Mike smith at 6moonaudio , he has both and now use the LESSLOSS ... i have sold mine to him and i am now on the dark side of the force in using a totally DIY Dac based on battery power supply and a moded PASSLABS D1 digital output stage.. another story..)
i don't want to say this or these are craps , but if i will save the money ( buying and selling used with the lost of shipment fees..) of some 'Music lovers' , i will be happy..
the LESSLOSS Dac is not the perfect dac too ( nobody's perfect ..) in slave mode it sounds just a little better than the attraction Dac but in master mode it 's another story...
impressive. i am trying to get the same result with an external superclock feeding a moded aiprort express into my moded PASS D1 , i'm still working on it..
Follow Ups:
lessloss in slave mode costs 2000E. in master version double that.attraction is around 1000E plus battery.
even these days, long time since it's out of production, D1 is very expensive (not sure if i've ever seen one for under $2000)....
but if talk about final frontiers of digital i can absolutely accept there must be better than altmann's.
http://www.penna-media.hu/altmnn/index.htmHe is also here on AA, Endust 4237
He feeds the DAC with an external clock from his ADC via USB-SPDIF converter.
Yes, true.
Works better, more musical (for me at least) than any other high-end DAC for 10-15 times the Altmann's cost (Audio Note, Theta, Accuphase, dCS (even when it is used with its external clock generator), etc I have tried).
the poster above mentioned some DACs when used in master mode are killing altmann.the real comparison would be between 2 DACs using the same mode.
would it be correct to compare a DAC in master mode with altmann DAC reclocked from external mode? can we assume it is a kind of similar operation?
