Hm.. neutral signature eh.. saw this months back but didn't take notice of it. Anyone got compare it with PPK? sound signature wise?

i consider ppk more neutral..

Its controllable, both from the dacport and also from windows

Controllable on pc??i thought it just can only adjust volume on Bodies,wondering...so while u everytime plug in usb of dacport,u need turn max volume from pc?if like that...a bit inconvenience

yeah i oso think ppk more neutral.
but ppk is amp alone. while Centrance DACport is DAC + amp.
which if u pair ppk with notebook built in soundcard. it can't fight centrance DAC at all.

Yeah I think so too.. should be better then Ordance DAC-1 + PPK/Secret Amp. Since I am going neutral might as well have my portable and desktop similar. I find it hard to listen to my portable after Lavry DA11 combo lol... a lot of missing details.

Haha, no no, it automatically set to max everytime you plug it in

Here is a chinese website that dismantled the DACport..

I use it since mid of Jun, burn in more than 1000hours.

Pair with my HD650, Westone 3, IE8.

Neutral Amp, Recommended!

it is indeed the most neutral pcs of DAC amp combo i ever heard.
imho it is better / similar to Pico range.
and the good part is, it don't have built in battery, it takes only USB power.
if that that into consideration, that DAC port is indeed the best in my mind.
but it has a little bit of mid coloration, and widen sound effect added to the sound.
and that's the part that it loss a bit to ppk in such sense.
however. it is still one of the best consider it's price, portability, convenient , and sound quality it offered. it indeed stand on it's own kind.

Plus it's fun to play 24bit/96khz song...
