Tidal Camira Dac

[wizard]

From Tidal:

"Fully balanced reference DAC. Two stack design. Unique internal reclock system. Our unique reclock system makes the quality of the music server or CD- drive almost obsolete as long as it
delivers zero's and one's to it. Fully discrete ladder DAC without IC and D/S topology. Optional Repulse deck"

Repulse chassis is a super clock, this will be very special dac without normal dac chips.

Thanks, Wizard. Interesting...when will it be released? How much?

If it is anything like their speakers, it should be a winner.

It's almost finished now.

Tidal will send me specs, inside+outside pics of it when ready.

Thanks!

So does TAS think this one is better than their editor's favorite, the Berkeley Reference 3P, which he says is better than units selling for several times its $34K MSRP? Inquiring minds want to know! ;-)

Great video, thanks.

He made one with similar comments on solving of treble artifacts about my Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC.

One correction of his comments: Digital pre-ringing is simply not an issue, see this analysis:

A blog for audiophiles about more objective topics. Measurements of audio gear. Reasonable, realistic, no snakeoil assessment of sound, and equipment.

(As an audiophile I don't agree with everything that Archimago says, but he supports his findings on this issue with good visual data.)
