Heads up, this is the DAC to get designed by John Swenson. Years in the making, it will be well worth it and a big bang for the buck product. Coming soon.

Thanks for the head's up, Logic6. Been throwin' around the idea of building a couple of Bottlehead kits. Might have to put this one on the list as well.
 
You want to know why this is such a great DAC? You have to read the Bottlehead Forum. Click on Digital. Read the thread Taking orders. On the Digital forum there are several threads about Bottlehead DAC. read them all. Than you will get an idea of what this dac is all about. John Swenson has worked long and hard on this project. May he succeed.

Reply #276 had some good info. Any word on pricing? The headphone kit is interesting as I have heard good things about the Monoprice cans.
 
They are still deciding on price. I get the feeling the DAC will be around $1000 for the kit. But who knows? It could be higher.
 
For 1500$ this has got to be a stupid good dac.... Mine was 500 and kicks ass so 1500$ better be really good lol.
 
And I better be able to audition it... I don't plop down 1500 on anybody's word in audio.......well....not very often...
