Thanks once again, and; when the time comes for me to think for a DAC upgrade, I will truly consider your next NOS modified masterpiece. It has been a real pleasure for me to experience your excellent customer service, and an exemplary effort on modifying original Lite DAC-AH. You guys should be proud :).
Over the years of headphone listening, I was trying to discover the best value-for-money philosophy in this hobby, in which this appears to be only offered (magically) by a small number of manufacturers. COEM Audio has helped me a lot in the past - turning from what seems to be an entirely expensive outlook on Hi-Fi into a more 'realist' insight into believing that this hobby should always be well justified without embracing others' exaggerated costs. COEM Audio was what introduced me into Chinese Hi-Fi & the qualities of Non-Oversampling.
For so long ~ I have pursued two most important sonic qualities in a component to match my Audio Technica W5000 headphone ~ enduring musicality, and a sense of 'distance'. This is where I believe the modified non-oversampling DAC Lite DAC AH CAA Mod (May 2007) truly excels.
From exactly all 14 CD Players (including one in $15K category); all in which I have personally auditioned (with my own music and my tube headamp) across 7 months ~ I am a living evidence that the Lite DAC-AH CAA 2007 Mod gives one sonic signature that intimately serves the music; not wildly analytical or those of technically impressive sound within a short audition (in other words ~ brightness/fatigue in which my ears are extremely cautious). Not straight in my face, but pleasantly in front of me.
I would like to also express my thanks for the honesty, and sincerity behind the customer service of COEM Audio Australia. They have certainly always been first rate, and I would no doubt recommending them for anyone who are looking into the same path as I have started ~ value for money philosophy, and discovering the magic of non-oversampling.
Again, I cannot simply thank you enough for the exemplary modification on the Lite DAC. It simply shows something humbly but a truly different listening experience.- Andrew
