Golden Gate project is my answer to the hugely popular expectation from our dear customers, that we install in the DAC the best parts known to the Audiophile community. So called BOUTIQUE parts. Well, we give to every DAC, especially the Big7, the best parts that WE consider sanely priced. But of course the golden fish could bring something even more sexy. That’s how this project was born. GG is the Big7 DAC made of the MOST expensive boutique parts chosen by our customers in their wish-list survey.
- 1.Silver WBT solder used throughout
- 2.Furutech IEC inlet AC socket
- 3.WBT gold / silver RCA output sockets
- 4.Furutech RCA digital input
- 5.ATOM Vishay first capacitor after the tube
- 6.Mundorf M-Lytic HV electrolytes in second stage of PSU
- 7.Mundorf Foil MKP capacitors in third stage of power supply just before the tube anode
- 8.Metal-Film laser cut resistor MLT in Anode Load
