A gaggle of DACs, breaking in nicely on the bench.  (I'll take the blue tape off before shipping, don't worry)

You may notice that we are running these in on all three inputs, using various sources. The DACs will be rotated so that each one gets run time on S/PDIF coax, TOSLINK, and USB.

Inquiring minds wonder what the numbers mean.


Sample rate.

If you mean the numbers on the tape those are used to track the steps of the testing process.

Very cool! I think I was order 14 or 15 so I'm hoping that I'm in the second wave. ;D

Four are boxed up for Monday's mail. Four more are burning in over the weekend, and should be ready for Tuesday's pickup.

It has been sort of tough to burn in more than 4 or 5 at a time, so we will be shipping lots of small clumps quite frequently.

I am being picky enough to make the guys a little crazy. I am listening to and signing off on each and every DAC at all sample rates before it goes in the box. It does end up taking quite a bit of time, particularly when there are so many other things going on around here at the same time. Listening ran a little late on Friday and we missed the pickup cutoff time.

Doc, knowing that you will be personally listening to and assuring the quality of the first DAC I have ever owned goes a long way in bolstering my belief I have made the right choice in buying the Bottlehead DAC.  Thank you!

The first transport is away!

Can you tell me where I am in the queue?
