COS Engineering DAC 1

The number of things mentioned on 6Moons and MonoAndStereo, never to be seen again.

My friend has an H1 and I then purchased the D2v DACs. My D2v replaces an EAR Acute. It is a generation superior. The Acute in 2006 was the most analog like, tube output CD player I heard that was affordable. The D2v as a DAC at the same price as the Acute is just superior in all ways. I have not found a footer that it likes better than it's own design. I suspect the really thick aluminum case and design eliminates nearly all vibration, a great thing. It's $5,000 retail. The H1 has a more open/extended highs and slightly punchier bass but is not as beautiful sounding, especially in the mids and tonal density. The H1 comes with a headphone jack. The reasons I didn't buy the D1 was price and the funky volume control lights (too small for me to see far away). The H1 and D2v have great volume controls with large lit numerals for distant remote use and easy resetting. The D1 is said to have the greatest tone density and fleshed out sound. It uses dual linear power supplies (1/channel) while the least expensive H1 at $2,500 uses dual switching power supplies. That's what I read.
