Comments on: Best DACs in 2023: Upgrade your Audio System to a New Level https://www.thetechlounge.com/best-dac/ Sat, 07 Jan 2023 14:58:13 +0000 hourly 1 By: Floyd https://www.thetechlounge.com/best-dac/#comment-5070 Wed, 30 Sep 2020 19:05:17 +0000 https://www.thetechlounge.com/?p=5346#comment-5070 The plastic knobs on the A-S801 Integrated Amp are dismissive as any smart audiophile is going to engage the “Pure Direct Mode; hence, the plastic knobs are not going to be used so why moan about the material? I won this integrated amp and connected to a Cambridge Audio CXC, via a coaxial cable, is heavenly! I have never used the knobs, regardless of function so the knobs are mute as is their plastic constitution. The amp is well designed; engineered and manufactured, regardless of the knobs and its 32 bit DAC is well implemented and well executed. It is better than the Outlaw Audio 2160 Receiver…unless, you want the RD Tuner.

Thank you for pointing this out. You are right. It’s just that some users report hum while charging. We’ve edited the article accordingly=)
