Corda Opera 換季小改版

Meier Audio 的 Corda Opera 耳擴有新版本!?
在Meier Audio http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/上,原本版本Opera 是 $1090,現在有不含 DAC的版本 ,大概是某些版本 receiver 晶片會引起 power reset 的問題,所以就把那部份 Opera 的 dac 功能取消,改賣便宜一些 $895(限量),而含 DAC 版本小漲價到 $1120 (網站售價含國際運費),如果有人要衝 Opera 的話,現在可能不錯。
然後同網站目前特價:
ULTRASONE HFI-700 $145
STAX SRS-2020 $570
不知道算不算好價。

The reasons for offering the amp without DAC are two-fold.
1. Various people have asked for a version of the OPERA without DAC.
2. The receiver chip CS8420 used in the OPERA exists in various versions and some are known to cause problems. This also happened with the OPERA. Whereas the original prototypes were working perfectly some of the production-series-models were having problems upon power-reset. Of course I could exchange the chip in all these amps but instead decided to completely deactivate the DAC and sell the amp without. Much simpler for me and it saves a few bucks for those people who don't need this feature. Be aware though that the number of these amps is limited!
