While searching for something else , I just chanced to come across a thread about their Paradisea dac ( a 2008 thread) which was very well acclaimed and did well against the Schiit dacs. If I am not mistaken they are made in Taiwan. My main source is digital which are CD's & mp3/wav files on a hard disk in which some compressed recordings do have a hard edge & sibilance. Though on some well recorded cd's it is not apparent.
Now from a user who had used their dac called Paradisea, he praised it for presenting a very natural & musical presentation( the gear used also matters though)with no trace of any digital presence even in the case of poor recordings. In fact according to him it came quite close to vinyl sound with the Paradisea dac which is now discontinued.
I have absolutely no experience with tubes which these dacs use but apparently they are not the expensive ones. Among their current line as mentioned in the link, the Stockholm V2 more or less fits my taste as per the reviews being musical & forgiving on digital recordings without losing much on details. The Pagoda Dac has a bigger sound stage, accurate & more detailed but less forgiving on poor recordings. I did not find inbdepth reviews on the rest of their dacs. Would really appreciate if someone who has used them can shed some light on this. Thanks a lot.
