I have been in the hobby of HiFi for several years now and if someone asks me as to what some of my experiences are that came to me as startling revelation, I would probably list two of them.
1. Transportation of digital data to DAC
2. A fine preamp can change your experience radically
Since this thread is intended for item 1, I will not talk about item 2 here.
So, when I was introduced to Dante by someone on headfi.org, I thought it to be just another stuff like Audiophilleo, Mutec etc and just ignored. Then there was a period when my system remained constant, I thought, why not give Dante a try and I did. And when I did, the first thing occurred to me was that every other player in the market thought what they were doing was best but in reality they did not know what they were doing. I mean, this was my thought; do not take it literally.
I can go on and on praising Dante but the intent here is that I am so much impressed with this, I would like my fellows here (in India) to get a taste of it. With that what I was thinking, why not do a interest check and if we get sufficient number, I could send the unit to India and then it is round-robinned and finally sent back to me in US.
Now, if we really get a good amount of candidates, question is, how will my investment ($300 - $400) be protected?
Let us see if folks are interested and how high this idea flies. What I can assure is that in most of the cases, you will get surprised to find potential of your computer and phones/tablet (iOS, Android) as a digital source. Moreover, this will make you realize how beautifully these tracks have been recorded.
