In this episode, Mike and David remember Chord's first ever digital converter, launched in 2001. Not only was it the most radically styled DAC on the market, it had a unique, bespoke architecture that was far in advance of almost anything else around. The guys agree that it was a seriously special product, and reckon it still sounds surprisingly good today.
Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features Mike and David's unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way.
