Default Have a laugh on/at me!
Finishing up my review of the 088 preamp and noticed the USB port on the back...

To my knowledge this 088 did NOT have the DAC board built in, but I thought what the hell? Plugged my MacBook in and sure enough, there is a DAC board inside! Another point of interest, when selecting the output in the MacBooks preferences, the USB connection comes up as "077"

Hmmm....

Maybe the 088 and 077 use the same DAC?

Hi Jeff,

Very interesting How does it sound? I was thinking of adding the DAC to my 077 but I would lose the RCA inputs.

Jeff, I think you should "allow" AA's Burmester Club, sneek previews on your Burmester reviews.

Joe,
I am sure the Burmester DAC made quite the impression on my 089 CDP's sound quality. Well worth it!

Hi Jim,

I'm sure it's a worthy investment.

That 077 is my dream preamp! Do you have the extra power supply as well?

And does yours have a phono stage built in?

Hi Jeff,

Thank You! No phono. I don't really have plans for a TT (yet). Yes on the Ext. PS. I am thinking about adding the DAC for the heck of it but I'll be giving up my only RCA inputs. I do like my LIO-8 and Aqvox dacs so I'm still up in the air. I could always use the Cardas XLR to RCA adapter.

Awesome
