Gamma2 DAC for Dummies - Parts selection
At some point in your life you may want a DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter). The reason could be that you want to impress your friends or you believe it looks fancy or probably just because you believe that the DAC built into your source (be that your CD player, soundcard or whatever) is crap. Though some might find this hard to believe it is often the case, so instead of using the mediocre analogue outputs you will want to tap right into the digital 1's and 0's that is the music and have some good quality components turn that data into sweet sweet music. After doing a quick search on the mighty internet I found the Gamma2 to be a good compromise between apparent quality and cost, not to say that some other DAC's quite simply left me baffled as to what components I needed to buy to get where I wanted...Gamma1
Reading through the Gamma1 overview my eyes caught the following statement: "While Gamma1 is already excellent, the Gamma2 upgrade elevates it far into the high-end".
Oh dear, we all knows what that means... On to the Gamma2 that apparently I could no longer live without...
