Bremen No.1..A legendary DAC from Sweden,that swept the track with its competitors world wide.
Its superb analogue sound.
Each copy,..handbuilt by the constructor himself.
Chassis of pure copper.
PCB in Teflon.
All-in as usual,when it comes to Peter Steindls (fd Bremen) creations.
This was the best DAC you could buy around 1996 onwards.
This hifi friend is an extreme perfectionist even today.
I remember when he sat at my dining table,and told the rest of us how he built this DAC,..it was extremely.
All components are heat-matched to an extremely low level as an example,..and I mean extremely low.
Two out of one hundred components matched😉.
