Ultra low noise regulators array for DAC

Sound - dynamic, extended on both ends, excellent PRAT, warm and thick vocals.


Time for some pictures of this very unique and high end tube DAC. Apologies for the low lighting. Our semi-pro camera man still needs time to get used to his new full frame Canon SLR.

Some internal pictures. This guy is whopping 20KG!

Full system view - Acapella Violon4, Wavac PRT1 preamp, J&K EL84 PP amplifier, REL reference subwoofers (x3), Wavac 805 mono-block power amps, Wavac 300B power amp + full set of Wavac regulators, and etc.
