Haven't seen any reviews or chatter on the forums about this all-in-box.

I am thinking about using it as a SS all-in-solution with my Devore O/96.

Has anyone heard this? Any thoughts, any comparisons?

Thanks.

It's amazing unit.
We've had it in the store since we started, and it never fails to amaze me.
I haven't tried it with a Devore, but it was really good on Avantgarde horns. Right now it's playing the Wilson Sabrinas beautifully!

cheers,
Alex

I had the CTH on Devore Gibbon Xs and it was not a good match in the bass.

I love DarTZeel too, so it was disappointing.

Someone in Audiogon too mentioned that the Dartzeel LHC did not give him great frequency extension in both directions. But with the disclaimer that it might be problems with his room.
I wish there were more people who have heard this amp, it seems amazing for what it does.

I have only heard them on Evol Acoustics speakers and Klipsch horns. They are quite capable and were highly regarded in the French mag "Haute Fidelity" from about 2-3 years ago.

i've heard the darTZeel LHC-208 at shows a few times, and it always satisfies. and zero issue with the bass or high frequency extension......it's a real darTZeel. the dac inside is first rate.

it might be my first choice in an integrated one box solution. just add speakers and plug in your laptop. and with a high quality analog volume control one can add a phono stage and not compromise vinyl.
