    Abbas dac 2.1 se

    If he had his way, nothing would be in a case. Components need to "breathe". He's trying to emulate music from the 30s-60s. Having a thicker case and proper shielding helps with interference. Without the top and sides, I can hear a hum standing close to the DAC. Today I bypassed the AN M5...

    Abbas dac 2.1 se

    I'm in the Portland, OR area (West coast USA). He shipped the 3.2 Sig in 2 big boxes. One has the DAC (heavy). The other one has faceplate, tubes and cables. I think $310 was the cost.

    What about the front face? I'd rather have a natural wood front vs piano laquered MDF (that chipped easily). Most of the cost went into components and his time but if he wanted his units to look high-end, it would be nice to have a thick aluminum case with thich aluminum faceplate. I hope he...

    @charles1dad Have you received your Abbas 3.2 SE DAC yet? He only made 6 in the first batch. It took him almost a year to build and test it. I finally received mine. I don't care much for the casing but inside (IMO) is a piece of art. You can see in the pic that he paid a lot of attention to...
