Dhole

The dhole is a wild dog of the Indian forest — small, efficient, operating in silence. It does not announce itself. It simply appears, does its work, and moves on. The Dhole DAC/Amp has this quality: it is small enough to leave on the desk permanently, quiet in operation, and does its work at a level far above what its size suggests.

I kept putting off a DAC because I thought the difference was audiophile myth. I was wrong. The first time I ran the Lone Gibbon through the Dhole, I heard reverb tails in recordings I had heard hundreds of times without noticing. The improvement is not subtle. It is architectural. — The Monk
