Light Harmonic Geek Dac
« on: Aug 14, 2013 at 04:53 PM »
Want a dac that plays dsd up to 5.6Mhz and all other hires formats for less than 300 usd?

Unfortunately it is a headphone dac only, seems like a nice little technology from one of the makers of the most expensive dacs (the Da Vinci Dac) that as they say bring the sound out of the headphones...
Still under promo and can be had for 119$...

I guess portability and a one connection fit all option lang ang kinonsider nila since it is a headphone dac afterall...

I have already taken the plunge on the Geek Out.

I need to know the sonic benefits with the Geek Pulse before taking the plunge.....

Kayo naman!  ;D

I just hope Gavin can send a demo unit to PureSound Trading so we can audition ........

I heard that the demo unit will not make it to the HIFI Show ....... we'll wait and see.

Davin of Geek informed me that Geek Pulse shall have better parts and better power supply aside from the multiple inputs.
