my guess is that the DDA-100, in feeding my speakers an audio signal in perfect phase alignment exposed a time-alignment problem with the speakers.my point in writing all that out was to something i believe to be true about the DDA-100: it is so completely invisible in the audio reproduction chain that it ruthlessly exposes any underlying issues in your system or source material

At the price the DDA-100 by NuForce is a remarkable achievement that is clearly - pun intended - a glaring insult to amplifiers costing far more and to amplifier designers who know much less than NuForce's

Being that the DDA 120 is like a DAC amplifier, I have no use for my cables except the speakers cables and the power amplifier (Synergistic Research speaker cables and Signal Cable Digital Power Cable)

, I like just as much as the DDA-100 , and is more "tube like" but doesn't perform as well thru the HSU speakers (too low in watts) as the DDA100 and cost slightly more

Luckily my previous amp (running with an HRT DAC) had recently died so ordered out the NuForce DDA-100.Wow

The DDA however is easy to compare with what came before it on a desktop system, meaning music stored on your PC or Mac which is USB wired to the DDA-100 and two desktop speakers

The Windows DEFAULT setting assumes that Dolby Digital will be decoded by your attached amplifier, however the DDA-100 is not capable of this

I love minimalist design and the DDA-100 is
