Channel Islands Audio VDA-1
« on: August 10, 2004, 03:46:03 PM »
thinking of trying another DAC, I was curious if anyone had any thoughts on the Channel Islands Audio VDA-1? It seems to have good revies at audioasylum. sure would be nice to find a good DAC for a very affordable price....

thinking this paired with the Toshiba 4960 might make for a nice little package :)

A friend of mine has one. He said w/ the "optional" external power supply (VAC-1, I think), it holds its own against many pricier DACs. Whenever he makes it out here, I'll get to hear it myself and do some comparisons with him.
Out of the game ... for now?

thanks Matt... I'm not expecting it to be a world beater but I'd like to give it a whirl. I kind of figured the power upgarde would be worth it.
