They are one of those smart companies that realized the digital filters embedded in present day DAC's just don't cut it, so they use their own DSP to do the digital filtering and upsampling....and then the Auralic Vega came into my life... WOW WOW WOW
Maybe it has something to do with you trying to sell the ChordMaybe I'm missing something. I got to hear the Vega a year or more ago when the US agent brought it to our store. We put it in our main system alongside the (then-current) Chord QuteHD. Within about 10 minutes the Auralic guy started packing up his unit as he knew us too well to try to argue his case, especially when his unit was twice the price of the QuteHD. We really wanted to like the Auralic as we didn't have something at that price level at the time (we now have the HugoTT) and it's a well equipped unit, but ..
As I say, I'm guessing we missed something about the product in that demo so I'm interested in what you guys like about the Vega? Maybe it's a system synergy thing?

I've owned the Vega for about a year now and have a question. I'm running the balanced outputs to a preamp. Has anyone experimented with turning the volume down from 100 to see if it improved the sound. I've read that some DACs with volume control do not sound there best at 100%. I tried turning the volume down to 80 last night and thought I detected some difference, but wasn't 100% sure.
Anybody notice that the Auralic Vega is no longer listed on the Auralic website? I have a vega ordered and expect it to be delivered on Friday. A little worrisome that the vega isn't listed on the support.auralic.com page.
I edited my post to say no longer listed on the "auralic support website'. Even if they discontinue the product it should still be listed on the support website.Is that the one that has been on sale for $1000 off? If so, maybe a replacement is in the works.
