...to see what happens with such a shootout. I have a RAKK dac, and Mossback has an Ack! DAC. He plans to bring it by sometime for a comparison session.
In any event, I am very pleased with my RAKK dac. It has shot down everything I have played it against, so far. It is smooth, detailed, and has excellent low-level detail, wonderful tonality, and a great soundstage. It handles strings better than anything I have tried so far, which is of great importance to me. The output of my RAKK (passive transformer option) goes through a pair of TX-102mk3's, then on to the Raven line stage and Amity amps. For fun, I will eventually experiment with alternatives to the LL1674 output transformer.
