DACs from John Kenny

JKennys DACs have been well regarded for a while - and he has a dem pair on 'tour' right now. They are single USB input only, which is an issue for me as I like to run the telly through my rig. I am still trying to find a way to make it work as I am very interested in the JK32. Some reckon it steals a march on the Young!

Here is a link to Andrew Randle's blog, where he listens to the DACs and seems impressed.

    I've got one of his USB/SPDIF converters on the way to trial. I had one before but it had a faulty connection which was only diagnosed after I sold it. Will post my impressions.

    His DAC's get excellent reviews but for once I feel no urge to change my DAC. Are you tempted to try one Alan or is the single input a deal breaker?
  • AlanAlan
    Yes, and probably yes...

    Needs must though, I haven't the money to mess around at the moment. That kind of settles it.

    What are you using now James? Did you stick with the PWD?
  • BrumjamBrumjam
    Yes still using the PWD. It has a very good USB input but I'm interested to see how John's converter sounds going SPDIF into my DAC.

    Anyone on here tested this yet, be interested in your views.

    Just saw this thread.
    If anyone is interested in auditioning these two DACs that are on tour - just post here & PM me - I will put your name & address on a list. The USB to SPDIF converter is also about to become available from Nick Whetstone (TNT Audio) after completing his review this week.
