SW1X DAC Level 2+ with USB. Designed and made in UK
Bought this DAC brand new in 2022 and used sparingly.
Purchase value includes shipping, import duties and customs fees.
SW1X brand DAC is truly best kept secret.
I have thoroughly compared this DAC at my home - side by side - with world famous Playback Design Dream MPD-8 DAC, costing $38 000 AUD.
Surprisingly, this SW1X DAC was clear winner: very large soundstage, much, much more natural and musical sound; you can swear that the band or orchestra is in your room.
Also, surprisingly, this DAC 100% matched MPD-8 on sound micro-detail.
DAC is as new cosmetically and perfect technically. Sold as is, however, I will accept return if DOA or faulty within 3 days.
Collection is preferred. Shipping is extra.
Description:
DAC II comes equipped with more sophisticated power supplies and powerful 6N6P/6N30P/5687/E182CC valve output stage with 6X5GT (or 5Y3) valve rectification. The DAC II has a similar analogue & musical character akin to DAC level I but with a step up in low level musical refinement and presentation on another level. The circuit design is pure and elegantly simple with only one decoupling capacitor per channel in the signal path. Everything from input to output, including the mains inlet, the whole signal path is wired with specially selected SW1X copper conductors & dielectric- the same ones that are employed in our Genesis and Opus cables.

Pure NOS (Non oversampling – Zero Digital Domain Filtering) R2R Design
