In Reply to: Oritek modded Zhaolu (D2.0A or D2.5A) or Citypulse? vs. Lavry / Benchmark??? posted by john_ops on February 20, 2007 at 06:59:09:
I recently purchased an Oritek modded Zhaolu DAC (with discrete output stage) for a second system. I put it in my main system that has an Audio Logic 24mxl--just for a brief listen--and it held its own surprisingly well (especially given the price dif).The Audio Logic is significantly better, at 10x the price, but there's certainly diminishing returns at play. The AL has more texture and life to it, but the Zhaolu was clean and easy on the ears, and had pretty good detail, too. Easily better than several other <$1K un-modded DACs I've owned. I think it's a best buy at this price. I've owned five other modded digital pieces over the last couple years, and I think the modding of reasonably priced equipment is a very attractive proposition.
