Electrocompaniet Prelude PD-1 DAC
You may not have heard of this company, but one of my favorite local dealers, Ovation Audio, has brought in a lot of this gear from Norwegian company Electrocompaniet. I’ve had a chance to hear both their high end Classic Line and their lower priced Prelude line. I came away impressed by both the sound quality and value!
The Classic Line absolutely competes with products from SimAudio, Martin Logan, and Macintosh, but at more affordable prices. Their Prelude line gives you most of that at even lower price points.
