Fidelice DAC og hovedtelefon forstærker er et super lækkert High-End produkt med et imponerende væld af tilslutningsmuligheder og anvendelser. Med en transparans og åben varm naturlighed der overgår selv de vildeste forventninger er der i den grad lagt i kakkelovnen til en lytte oplevelse helt ud over det sædvanlige.
Fidelice DAC har med sine mange indgange og udgange en næsten endeløs pallette af anvendelsesmuligheder og er en "state of art" digital til analog konverter med kræfter til at drive selv meget krævende hovedtelefoner med lethed. Med denne DAC/ Forstærker har Rupert Neve Design lagt sig helt i spidsen inden for DAC og Head-Fi generelt. Denne DAC må siges at være noget af et mestermærk både hvad angår flexibiliteten og lydkvaliteten.
Anmeldelserne taler deres tydelige sprog.. her et par udkast fra nogen af de test hvori den har deltaget:
“...the best sounding, most enjoyable, all-in-one unit I’ve heard at its price-point that also includes a true analog-input-to-analog-output path.”

IAN DUNMORE, HEADPHONES.COM
“Listening to the new Fidelice Precision DAC’s headphone output with the new ZMF Verite Closed-back design was a revelation.”
—
ERIC FRANKLIN SHOOK, PART-TIME AUDIOPHILE
“A brief listen to a few familiar tracks...yielded spacious and highly resolved yet very substantial sound, with a remarkable sense of soundstaging / instrumental placement I’ve seldom experienced through headphones.”
