Auralic Taurus MKll

  If you follow any of the trade blogs, Audiostream, DAR, Audio Beat, the list goes on, you'll often see this unit with a tablet sitting on top, a set of headphones plugged in, and usually the Auralic Vega DAC underneath.  They are the same size, you know. 
  I'm still on the fence about headphones, for the Haven, I mean. I don't know if I have the in-shop traffic to support a buy-in of a number of headphone models. I know they're the rage. Camfest just occurred in Vegas, and from all accounts it was packed. The CanJam room at upcoming Axpona in Chicago will be packed to the rafters. So we'll see....anyone interested? Please send emails of interest or give me a buzz.  I do have some great headphone amps here already, or integrateds with great headphone stages in them, like the Leben.  The Leben 300 EL84 integrated is renowned for the headphone section, and many a well heeled audiophile has been buying it as such. There's also already here the Auralic Taurus Mkll as previously mentioned, the Ayre QX5 and Codex DACs.  Not too shabby, all that's missing are the cans...I don't know if I can get hip with that word...   Let me know....
  Oh, back to the Taurus for a sec.  I have been using it as a preamp lately, and for the money, it's a doozy....it seemed to take a long while to run in. Now I'm completely happy inserting it in some very top notch systems without once thinking it not worthy.  For $1500 it has loads of features, sounds amazing - it's based on the Neve studio recording board, look it up- and I just cannot fault it.  Balanced and single ended. And Highly recommended!
