Has anyone heard the T&A (German company) DAC? It has EIGHT Burr Brown dac's and retails for only $2100. I don't know what the advantage of eight dacs would be - or if there even is one.

Anybody out there know?

Thanks

I haven't had the opportunity to hear the T&A DAC, but some other companies that use multiple DACs in their designs include Accuphase and Esoteric. DAC ICs are commonly stereo designs but they can be configured in mono for better channel separation, with additional DACs wired in parallel to theoretically provide greater output current and improved dynamic range. Of course there are many other factors in DAC design affecting their performance, so auditioning any models of interest is strongly recommended.
