Looking into becoming a Dealer for Lab12. Their Ref DAC is getting some serious attention. Said to sound like a Studio feed. Their Amps are Class "A" and sound great. Prices very reasonable. Fits between our Merason and Aqua lines. Perfect.

I was looking at Lab 12 amps and dacs last year, but didn't pull the trigger. Currently settled with the Holo streamer and Holo dac and Leo's Starkrimson amp. Great sound for the money, so no complaints in that regard
Good luck with the line and that it's a good fit for your customers.

It is Official. Lab12 DAC coming in next week. A tubed affair said to sound like a live Studio feed. Steve Guttenberg flipped over it as well as Huff from PTA. Exciting times. On a side note the Merason DA-2 on its way as well. Save your pennies Men.

Congratulations, Charles! More good products for your customers 👍
With only 20 hours on it WOW F'n wow. So musical. Not as transparent as the Formula so far. Wonderful Tape sound. Not warm per say just very easy on the ears. If you are looking for a DAC under $3500 this is it. Only the Merason DAC1 mk2 at 9K and the Weuis 501 at 13K are better as they should be. Getting in the Merason mk2 next week to compare.

Congratulations and keep us posted 👍
Lab12 all broken in with 250 hours on it. For the price $3400 with the ability to tube roll a brilliant achievement in digital. Like listening to a live feed. Our Merason and Aqua digital still takes the cake however 9k and 18K respectfully.
