Boulder 812 DAC/Preamp

Quick answers from the great staff at Boulder:

1) Analog input goes all through the system as analog
2) Volume control is analog (not digital)
3) Limited comments on the DAC, as it's custom and proprietary (my words)

Just the answers I wanted

We have one in the store.

Yep, I am trying to get through a busy spring, and then I need to come down and listen to the 812, and the Esoteric N-05XD. And bring some headphones, the headphone amps will be important.
 
Mike, do you know if the 812 can stream from Roon without an Ethernet cable connection. I don’t want to have to sit near an Ethernet port to be able to stream so this is crucial. The manual says there is a Wi-Fi dongle but not sure if it a full replacement for the Ethernet and whether the SQ suffers as a result?

No, you need an Ethernet cable. No wifi. Wifi is not ideal for best sound. The wifi dongle is for the remote.
