Anyone have any thoughts on the Meier Audio Corda Daccord? I can get a used one from someone fairly cheap (~$300). The Audio-GD I had half on the hook fell through.

300$ ? that's a Bargain. Even New it's a bargain.


Loved that DAC and always regretted to sell it to fund the totaldac. And this would be probably my primary choice if I was after a D/S dac . Not compared to More Hi end Offers though . I Just found it sounds right without any Digital Nastiness and offers great features. I'd say it's neutral/uncolored with a touch of analog sound. Resolving but not harsh.  Probably a bit lean for people used to R2R goodness.

Thanks mang. I'm getting pretty psyched about getting into R2R but that might be a solid deal to tide me over.

I think that this topic needs to be stickied or something.  It's reference.

Sweet, nice to see Gumby get its name and place of honor.

Is it possible to build a chart like this for amps?  Are amps too headphone picky to be amenable to this sort of comparison?

Cheers.

You could do SS amps. Tube amps would have a wide range based on tube selection. Certainly possible.

A chart for amps would be pretty helpful. But someone else would have to do it, Purrin doesn't comment much on amps anymore due to his MOT status.

I envision it being a sort of scatter plot with radii around each point. Each point like a layer so you can wobble them around later as needed.

But since Marv works for EC, it might not be kosher for him to do a chart for amps (unless he leaves all EC amps off of it).

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

I'm pretty sure he'll hold firm about laying off amp comparisons. That said, he doesen't have to be the one to do it  :)p6
