I don't have time tonight, but I'll try do so at some point soon. When I'm back from vacation in a couple of weeks, I'll pair it with the Yggdrasil and put it through it's paces with various headphone.

One thing that amazes me, no fucking grain. WTF, this makes no sense.


edit: we can steal the Carbon, but with the PS I suspect this will be an unfair comparison. This literally sounds nothing like solid state. We'll unplug the PS and compare it.

I'll see we can send this out to you for a tour. Too much on my mind to deal with stuff like that right now. Prepping for the meet.

Sounds good. I'll PM you sometime later in a month or so. No rush.

Alex is pretty confident in his switching power supply.

and the carbon don't sound like no $600 dac.  Just saying this will be interesting.

I think the carbon will struggle to compare to a $600 dac, but it certainly holds its own as an amp...  ;)

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

(Sorry Marv if I'm wrong) So there's an order link on the website, does this mean it's for sale?
