Breaking the High-Dollar Statement DAC Price/Performance Barrier - Rockna Wavedream Reference Signature DAC

WBF Members know hyperbole is abundant in high-end audio. Occasionally, a product comes along that trascends hype and redefines what is possible at an approachable price.
In 2022, Hear This introduced to the WBF community a small, powerful class-A monoblock amplifier named the Rei from WestminsterLab that redefined the genre.

After a long wait to find a digital product that could take on the heavy hitters in the same way as the Rei amplifiers, we are pleased to introduce the all-new Rockna Wavedream Reference Signature DAC. We have compared the Wavedream RS to several respected and considerably more expensive multi-chassis DACs, and we know we have something unique to offer enthusiasts in a one-box solution under $25k. Several reviewers have said many great DACs are available. Still, in their view, none are better than the Rockna regardless of price. This is either a bold statement or merely a new chapter, but undoubtedly a notable achievement from Romania from the digital Meister, Nicholae Jiartu.

We thank Steve, Ron, and Julian for allowing us to introduce our offerings on these pages and giving beautifully crafted, innovative products of exceptional value and performance the exposure they deserve. More information will follow shortly. Also, Ron's interview with Nicholae Jiartu, Rockna's founder and chief engineer, will be part of the ongoing WBF Makers and Masters series for members interested in how the advanced digital technology found the Rockna RS is advancing the state of the art.

did the "High-Dollar Statement" part of thread title make you think of this?
I guess there are new and interesting ways to spam folks. Certainly a new topic for the Forum! For those who may be wondering if this service comes included with a purchase, the answer is a hard no:)
