Who Are Your Favorite DAC Designers?

[NellTheAkita]

There are so many great DAC designers, some still among us, and some RIP, so it's hard to choose, but... If I just stop overthinking for a second and review which products brought emotions, music, and started my leg tapping and not just sounds then my top 3 is:
Łukasz from Lampizator, Nicolae from Rockna, Don Moses from Wadia

 

[No Regrets]

I'd like to recommend the Mojo Audio Mystique dac. My version is the X-24AM. It utilizes the legendary Analog Devices AD1862 R-2R ladder DAC chip. There is a lot that goes into this dac, but I'll let you read up about it on their website.

I believe it flies so far under the radar because it doesn't cost $30K or more and therefore it doesn't catch the eyes of many people. You'd be remiss to not give this piece a serious audition. It truly is an amazing dac.

Best wishes,
Don
