The first review of the new DAC HD is in!

On audiostream.com, Michael Lavorgna writes “I have to say, I completely fell for the DAC HD’s voice from the first notes played through it.

A new secret in home theater…

“When I received the Halide Bridge, the sound took a significant change for the better. This wasn’t entirely expected, since the BDA-1 rejects all jitter faster than 10 or 20 Hz, but the change in the sound was undeniable. The dynamic flatness with the Toslink input was gone, while the improved soundstaging, imaging and detail retrieval was preserved. The combination of the Halide Bridge and the BDA-1 was the real ticket. The pair of components managed to improve on every aspect of sound [...]” – Secrets of Home Theater and High-Fidelity.
