High Performance indeed, July 11, 2008
This review is from: DAC4800A Amp --- Ultra Linear Stereo (2-Channel) Digital Power Amplifier for High Performance High End Music, Studio, and Reference Audio Systems --- Beats Tubes and Class-A --- 1000W! (Electronics)
I have owned this amp for 2 years. It is hands down the clearest,most powerful and precise amp I have ever heard. It power my Ohm5 mkII's. The ohms have a top end that requirres a lot of juice and this is the only amp I have had that truely opened them up. My Quad 22L2's sound crisp with this amp. All four of them at once. Reproducing a piano precisely is difficult. All equipment has to be tops, source amp and speakers. The DAC4800A is the best in reproducing a piano through my Apogee Stages. The stages can sound muddled if the power is not clean. Low end can roll off with an inferior amp. Not with the Dac. Pink Floyd goes real low when I use the DAC4800A. Harp, Jazz, classical, female vocals they all sound great through the DAC4800A. The DAC4800A is the best value I have found in the high end market. Friends know I am an audiophile. They marvel at the different speakers. But what makes them sound so good is this amp. I kid you not. The specs are as good as amps costing twice as much and this amp delivers. Try playing Dagda through inefficient speakers at high volumes for a long time. Standard solid state amps fry. Not the DAC4800A. It never quites. My wife and I like to relax and listen to soft music. The DAC4800A is just as fine at low volumes as at high. Hard to say anything negative. It is that good.

Digital Amp with Class A sound, April 24, 2008
This review is from: DAC4800A Amp --- Ultra Linear Stereo (2-Channel) Digital Power Amplifier for High Performance High End Music, Studio, and Reference Audio Systems --- Beats Tubes and Class-A --- 1000W! (Electronics)
Absolutely the best amp I have ever heard regardless of price. If you ever listened to a great Class-A amplifier with its complete lack of crossover distortion and smooth silky highs and rock solid low end, then you'll know what to expect from this unit. Yet, the amp is a very powerful digital amp with all of the punch you would expect from a bipolar class-AB amp, combined with the silky smoothness of a class A. This amp sounds fantastic played soft or loud.

Incredible Depth of Sound!, May 4, 2008
This review is from: DAC4800A Amp --- Ultra Linear Stereo (2-Channel) Digital Power Amplifier for High Performance High End Music, Studio, and Reference Audio Systems --- Beats Tubes and Class-A --- 1000W! (Electronics)
I'm not what you'd call an "audio pro", but I have heard this amplifier in a side-by-side comparison to others on the market. Bottom line, Digital Amplifier Corp. is doing something truly unique, for they can drive an incredibly clear signal that is rich, yet coupled with an incredible depth of sound. If someone's looking for the ultimate in Home Theater, I can't see what could be better. What's really amazing is the limited heat disapation from this unit. Their digital technology must be the cause for the low power, and noticeably missing heat sinks (no fins!!). It's obvious these guys are going to gobble up the consumer high-end market.
Just wait until you hook up your subwoofer.. Hold on to your hat!!!
