2point1 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Does anyone have any experience with Maverick? http://www.mav-audio.com/base/product/tube_magic_a1 The DAC looks nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 A couple here including myself do. They're great DAC's. I have the D2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 There are several reviews on Head-fi.org. Also:http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2010/07/maverick-tubemagic-d1/ The Maverick TubeMagic D1 is by no means the last word in hi-fidelity DACs. Many will find the likes of the Bel Canto DAC3 far superior (which it is!), but at an RRP of $299 the TubeMagic has knocked the Cambridge DACMagic from its perch and has taken its rightful place as the pick of the budget end of the DAC market. The king is dead. Long live the king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 You can roll op amps and tubes in them as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It seems like a good price point and functionality for a sight unseen purchase. I live in the sticks and buy all my audio sight unseen. I would expect Maverick products to sound better than an AQ Dragonfly (with more functionality) but not a good as a Channel Islands DAC. http://www.ciaudio.com/products/VDA2 CI Audio did not include USB input in this model which is kind of strange. I am starting my J River digital library and would require USB input in a DAC or use the Halide Design S/PDIF Bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
