Hi, sorry, but I just took it out of the flight case a few hours ago. Konstantinos at Pilium DID break it in for me as we were waiting for the new USB driver, but it needs a few days now turned on and playing.Can you give us some more details? Have you compared Elektra with any other digital source?
Any new feedback regarding Pilium Elektra's performance?
It will take a while but as time goes on more and more people will realize how good the Pilium electronics are. Time will tell.Been playing with my hifi again today, I put the MSB Discrete dac back into my system just to see if I was imagining just how good the Pilium is, while the Discrete is a bloody good dac it's nowhere near as good as the Pilium the sound just seems to shrink to the back of the room where as the Pilium just fills the whole room with music and I'm sure it's social distancing as the air/space around the instruments is so much more than anything else I've heard. The Pilium seems just as good with my MSB transport as it is with my custom made server by Reality Audio. Next job is to start playing with the different filters to see what changes they make.
Hi, any thoughts about the filters? I am curious as I own the Elektra since couple of weeks, but never tried the filters.

My experience is that it is system and user preference dependent. Just have to experiment.Hi, any thoughts about the filters? I am curious as I own the Elektra since couple of weeks, but never tried the filters. Thanks in advance
Beautiful dac.Pilium 66lb Elektra DAC now available for demo at Rhapsody. (Retail is $39,900) Sonically the Elektra seems like a bargain at this price.

Filters are not so easy to differentiate, but it also depends on your other components. Good luck with your settings. Maybe try the one same to mine first and see if it’s to your like.Thanks, TDX, that’s very helpful. I was a bit confused by all these terms, now I know, at least, what to expect.
I had a rather poor experience with all those similar settings on my streamer (432 Evo master), where I was not able to exactly figure out what was the difference with the different filters, just realizing, that with everything off, including their highly advertized 432 Hz plugin, it sounds the best. This was also the reason I was not particularly impatient to try all options on the Elektra.
It's a great dac imho. The only issue at the moment is getting them with the shortage of AKM chips.hi folks, any update on this particular DAC?
Cheers!View attachment 84216
