This is one of the few components that shocked me in the difference of sound when i put it in my system. Messed with a dozen or so dacs, nothing like this. Great dac is an understatement, it is fantastic, very happy customer!!!
What a fabulous dac. Ole is a gem of a human and you Mikey deserve this kind of product. The build/integrity/value ratio is outrageous. Everybody get over to eleven stereo and hit Mikey up for this dac if natural, non fatiguing, and ease are your diggity. Companies who build like this deserve the support because let's face it, they deliver a superior product at a very reasonable cost.

This DAC was featured in your video "DANS $22K COMPLETE HIGH END AUDIO SYSTEM. ONLY 4 WATTS OF POWER !" and it sounded great. I looked into it but couldn't find a dealer. I am so glad you have become the dealer in the US. Thanks for everything you do for this community.
2:01 The DAC 07 is not completely identical to DAC08. The differences, when I talked to Ole himself, should be the DAC08 have premium WBT connectors and more espensive audiograde capacitors - as you also tell us later in the video (8:24). Thats actually makes a difference in sound. A more equal comparison will be DAC07 SE vs. DAC08, as Ole also told me. They have the same WBT connectors, and capacitors should be the best from ELNA (DAC08) and Nichicon (DAC07 SE), so its just a matter of taste in sound what to prefer. I have owned both DAC07 and DAC07 SE, but even the SE version should be a better dac, I find the standard 07 more varm and analogue sounding for my taste. So that was the one I chose to keep :)
@@OCDHIFiGuyThen the DACs are not identical, there is also a clear difference in sound. But agree, the standard 07 is better value and have a lovely analogue and clear sound 👍
Burr Brown DAC as well! That's what's been in my last 4 Cd players. To me they seem to have a more natural sound. I'm no techy on chip sets necessarily, but have always been happy. Yes I still use a CD player! Ayer CX-7eMP.
Also a fan of BB chip. They sound a bit like TDA 1543a but better. Love my Rega DAC-r with double BB and a really nice analog output. Big bang for the buck.
@@OCDHIFiGuy well, according to Ole Nielsen who I emailed want this, the regular black 07 DAC has different (lower grade) capacitors on the inside as well. It's not simply the connectors that jacks the price up by 50%. But yours was custom simply without connectors?

It's too hard to pin it to a certain protocol. There are limitations in bandwidth of some of the older protocols, but the better the DAC is built, the less it matters what the file type is. (As long as it's not mp3 which should be avoided completely) next is what the company who made the DAC likes best and the inputs they go strong foot forward with...
Is it balanced though-out? What’s the warranty span? I’d be replacing a Schiit Gungnir DAC offering the same inputs, balanced out and 5 years of warranty. Made in the USA

@@AudioheavenDenmark The person I bought my DAC07SE from said that the cheapest upgrade to it that he could find was the Weiss DAC 502 which retails for $13.500.
These are using Burr Brown chips. Not comparable in the spec war. They don't have enough zeros behind the decimal point for their THD+N. However, the cleanest measured output, in my experience, does not translate to sonic gratification. Measurements do not matter because they don't tell you how it sounds. If there is one thing I can tell you, again from my experience, is that Burr Brown chips have always sounded fantastic in a good implementation. Whatever the Japanese engineers were doing decades ago got the sound right to my ears. The current chip designers I think have lost the plot to their marketing departments.
My Dad has the Merason Frerot (without the dedicated power supply however) and I have the DAC 07 SE from Newontech. The Newontech DAC is 2 leagues above the Frerot in this scenario. With dedicated power supply for the Frerot, I would still imagine it is a full notch below the Newontech DAC.
Since you have both and did some tests, what differences if any did you hear between the DAC07 and the DAC08? I understand the 07 is where the real value is but it'd be great to know if there was any improvement with the 08. Thanks!

There is no such thing as a switching transformer. It's an encapsulated toroidal transformer. 2 of them separate the digital from the analog power supply. It's an improved design element. 👌

I can't tell you the dac 07 or 07se is a lot more neutral and much faster in transients and has better weight. The 07se was my idea to Ole. As a played around with the parts on the 07. It's a beast. Dead silent to. 🎉

@OCDHIFiGuy actually the output section is boiler plate. It's blown up with great components in the high end, and dumbed down with crap in the low end. Their digital section is where the real magic happens, but I have no idea why. Somehow that technology is quite different and it's amazingly musical. I picked up a used Amber 3, bypassed the crappy, I believe it is a Jupiter cap, with VHAudio's amazing ODAM, and CuTF V-Caps, got an adapter to go from a 12AU7 to a 6SN7, and now it's quite the little DAC.
You're not paying close attention. At $2K RETAIL PRICE, then an assumed profit for the maker is 300 low side, 500 high side, either way not enough to pay the bills unless you sell 200pcs per month...
