I am the original poster and must chime in here to sing the praises of one of my top three breakthrough/remarkable/biggest audio altering products since my 1975, when I started down this never ending journey.
First, all three have been within the past six years (Sorry, I forgot my venerable Chartwell LS3\5a. Did not find anything that I prefered for almost twenty years). 1.) Lowther PM2MKII's/Tone Tubby 12" Alnico Hemp cones in Open Baffles. 2.) Yamamoto A08-S fitted with EML solid plate 45's. 3.) The external Havana DAC mentioned above.
This DAC has totally emberassed my Sony XA77ES player (which aint bad in it's own right). I am not going to get into the typical audio descriptions of it's performane, like inner detail, liquidity, etc. This DAC has simply restored a since of involuntary emotional response to music that I have been chasing after since I sold my loaded Linn table 15 years ago. I don't know or care if the Havana is a "giant killer" in the DAC world. It has however helped restore my ability to emotionally reconnect to my, now computer based music collection.
So, then why am I here asking about High Resolution capable DAC's? Well, my maybe ignorant assumption is that MORE BITS MUST SOUND EVEN BETTER! Of course even I know that More bits from an inferior machine likely won't produce better sonic results. So, it's more than great to read all of your experiences with High Resolution capable Cards/Dacs. And even more exciting to hear someone has discovered a unit under $200.00 that may fill my needs! However, the big question that I should have already asked is, Will music (obviously higher res than capable through my Havana) definately sound BETTER than what the Havana has to offer? Or Am I "Ignorantly" expecting My Havana to be sonically outperformed just because of higher bit rates?
