Any of you guys heard the Audio Note DAC 5 (UK)?

Ive owned the AN DAC 5 S easily bested the competition in it's day-super smooth with finesse and clarity without the "Digititus" prevalent in an excuse for excessive detail

that behest similar products in the Digital forefront.

The DAC 5 was supreme in its Class.

Maybe not up to some of the latest creations evolving today that come with fancy bits and inputs/etc/etc--seems the rest might have caught up:p

I'd still take it over 99% of the current market crop anyway:D

Got a call from Lukasz this evening. If everything goes according to plan I will receive a new Pacific dac (with the new ‘official’ chassis) next Friday. By then I will also have a visitor (will not yet disclose the name) who still stay a couple of days at my place and who is going to help me me out with the audio systems. Hopefully there are lying some very exciting ‘audio days’ ahead.

Thanks Bill. Give me some time but I will definately give my feedback to all of you. The unit is brand new and will need at least a couple of days.

Any additional comments from your side, Lee? Thanks for the link.

I thought it sounded superb. The Salk speakers and Lampi amps coupled with the DAC sounded great. It was tough to tell how the Pacific compared with the Golden Gate as I had not heard it in a while but the high resolving yet smooth sound signature of the Lampi gear I have heard seemed to be there. It looked amazing with the tubes towering over the gold metal work.
