Fir 200 WTH???? My adventure this Week was Buying a AP unit from Your Buddy the Bearded One!!! A12 if that means anything to your Mind!!!!! Keep up your Craziness !
it seems like a good item to hook up your BT 'phones to and not turn on the main rig. it's small enough to go anywhere you want it to. i already have a couple of good dac/amps for my desktop but it could go nicely in the bedroom.
Well I for one like the P1 plus. It's different, and I'm pretty familiar with Douk Audio, so I'm not afraid to consider something new in the form of a "preamp" or dac. Great review.
Fun-fi like that is cool. It's all about having fun, enjoying music and the experience. I'm from The Netherlands and I like to tinker with vintage hifi from my own brand, Philips. Combine it with some Wiim and we're good to go!
Looks like a pressure gauge up top. Could we just get a normal preamp, no tubes, no vu meter? I think there is a hole in the market for affordable preamps. Schiit & Emotiva have some options, but not at a $200 pricepoint.
yes. BY THE WAY: if any legacy receiver makers want to make some money....WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? It doesn't need to be steampunk, but tell me that a new Marantz with the old look and a built in DAC/streamer with HDMI ports wouldnt sell out?? (or *transform the marketplace?)
I looked at that and the first thing that came to mind was an image of Gene Wilder in black and white laughing crazily from Young Frankenstein. Just me? Okay, nevermind. Still a fun video Bob, thanks.
If they were trying to go with the steam punk theme, they missed their mark.. For $199 with an outdated ESS chip and the unconventional look which some people might like, this one would be an easy pass for me.
I got one too. I was going to my review in a week or so. Like you I have a dozen reviews in the can. No rest for the wicked.
@@OldGuyHifi keep on keeping' on , Ed!!!
Never saw one of your videos, but really appreciate it. Googled the device and landed here. Good review/preview/ thing.
Welcome aboard! I hope you subbed me! Thanks, either way!

Cool. I would love to hear AP stuff. Maybe the bearded one will loan me one!

It's pretty portable! Thanks for watching!
Cool review thanks!

I think it’s cool. Not sure about the tire pressure gauge VU meter, think they could have done someone equally quirky but maybe cooler?
Maybe 80's LEDs!

So glad you watch me from so far away!!!
@@UnitedStatesofAnalog nah, you are far away! 😉 Keep it up, I like your wicked style
Heh... Why not. Great novelty item for the living room system.
Hey Bobfather, would you be able to do a video on car speakers? Ones for like a truck that Matt owns. Btw great videos!
Thanks! Maybe down the line but car videos require a lot of resources... LIKE CARS!
Nice 1950 laboratory gear vibe.
Indeed it is!

Yeah... I wonder if I can check my tires with it!
Actually kinda of cool, lol. Looks like something you would see in a 1950's budget Sci-fi movie.
Exactly!
I like it, doubt ill buy it but its nocey to see something other than the square box
Is that a Tachometer on top?
Air pressure gauge!
I am Addicted to US of Analog 🎉
I had to pass on reviewing this one because it looks too much like a vintage gas pump to me lol - fun video though, sir!
Ahhh .... but does it pump Diesel?
@@Douglas_Blake_579it doesn't even pump gas, just liquids 😂
@@annebokma4637
"Diesel" is a band ... do a search.
@@Douglas_Blake_579 aha, would be surprising if it wasn't. 🤣 Also a shit watch brand
It's NOT for everyone... but it might be for someone. Dont kill the messenger! Thanks Forever! Watch one of your vids last night!

I would love be some throwback designs... that's totally my jam!
I agree with all you say
Hello from St Louis
Hello from Austin
Looks like a real Franken/Fi piece. Might be better with electrodes instead of headphones.
Hmmmm?
Steam Punk Pre!
For real! But I'm not a fan of steampunk... just punk!
Too weird for me. Did league bowling in our 8 lane island bowling center.
Good to know!

@@WireHedd I almost pulled a photo from Young Frankenstein for the video!
@@UnitedStatesofAnalog Douk needs to get in touch with Mel Brooks' people to use that kind of image to promote this DAC. LOL
Whoever designed this must have been on their way home from a diddy party
Line of the day!
that tire pressure gauge on it is so ugly. outside of that it seems like a bargain.
@@randomsuper according to the meter I was 5psi low!!!

I get it!

Save UR money for something good 👍
Heard, Chef!
