Default Mytek Brooklyn DAC - Rated A - Stereophile Recommended Components

Congratulations to Mytek owner and designer Michal Jurewicz on receiving an A rating in the October 2017 Stereophile magazine Recommended Components for their Mytek Brooklyn DAC. It is a groundbreaking audio component in its price category that features full MQA certification. The Mytek Brooklyn DAC is feature packed and stands up remarkably well against competitors, often with much higher price tags. Hats off to the Mytek team and their manufacturing facility in Poland. The Mytek Brooklyn is worthy of the praise.

Sure is a lot of slobbering over this thing. I am going to make a point of listening to it at RMAF this weekend.

Here is my question and it's truely a question ... because it is rated in Class A, is Stereophile saying it's performance is on par with the Berkeley Refence or the DCS Vivaldi? If so that's one heck of a DAC!!!

That's my understanding, and that's why i am going to scrutinize it in Denver. I find it very hard to believe.

Better buy the Mytek Brooklyn before the price goes up from all the accolades.

Default Mytek Brooklyn DAC - Rated A - Stereophile Recommended Components

DAC's at the $2k price point today will slay DAC's that have been in the market for awhile and cost 5x to 10x when new. Will it slay a Vivaldi? I don't know because I haven't heard both.

But any way you slice it these are wonderful days for Audiophiles.

And it is Roon-ready... They may sell it at a discount at the RMAF.

Dan,
I'm looking forward to your upcoming review of the Mytek Brooklyn DAC and Aurender N100H in your living room system. Hope you can provide a few photos with the review.
