This was the review that stoked my curiosity about the Lab12 DAC1 reference
I am so happy with this DAC in the set up. It doesn’t happen often; jsuddenly, what I am hearing sounds so right. Beautiful non fatiguing and very enjoyable music reproduction with a decent soundstage width, excellent imaging, delightful and very nuanced bass, plenty of detail presented with no digital glare even with poorly recorded music.
One may reasonably ask: this description can be applied to many DACs in the market; what makes it special?
I believe it’s this DACs’ tonality that makes it special for me. It’s voiced just right and that’s only done by a talented engineer with fantastic listening skills and a very experienced ear for music.
The cherry on top is that it sounds very good across all genres of music.
Then I watched Steve Guttenbergs review and got what he was trying to say about this DAC. I notice he couldn’t stop smiling while describing this DACs attributes…I fully agree with his take on the Lab12 DAC1 reference.
I almost exclusively stream Qobuz, Spotify and occasionally Internet Radio (Radio Paradise streams)
The set up consists of Aurender x100L -> Lab12DAC1R -> Thoress EHT integrated -> Pureaudio Project Trio 15. My room is untreated 12’x16’
