Moor Amps manaDAC “In a League of Its Own”
We are proud to highlight a remarkable review of the Moor Amps manaDAC by HiFi and Music Source, where it was awarded the prestigious "Editor's Pick". Reviewer Simon Wilce describes the manaDAC as offering perhaps "the most analogue DAC experience available" on the market today.
Key Highlights from the Review:
- Revelatory Detail: The reviewer noted an immediate "wall of sound" filled with details never heard before, providing massive improvements in dynamics and 3D imaging.
- Vinyl-Like Presentation: The manaDAC is praised for its "near-vinyl feel," offering a smooth, warm, and organic sound that allows for effortless, long-term listening without the fatigue often associated with digital audio.
- Purist Engineering: By removing complex filters and DSP, Moor Amps focused entirely on signal purity. The unit features a dual-mono design with 18 voltage regulators and a unique 3D-printed carbon-fibre composite chassis to eliminate resonance.
- Pitch-Black Background: Thanks to its over-engineered power supply and full optical isolation on the USB input, the manaDAC delivers music from a "pitch-black" background, capturing the finest micro-details and spatial information.
The manaDAC is a destination component for those who want to stop "fiddling" with digital settings and simply settle in for high-quality, emotive listening.
