First impressions: Stello DA100 USB DAC
First impressions: Stello DA100 USB DAC: comparing this $695 DAC with the $13K Chord Blu to check what it’s really worth, yielded some pleasant results:
For 13 grand, there should be a significant difference. But switching between the Stello and the Chord, it was just amazing just how good the Stello was.
