The
Exogal Comet is a high performance digital to analog audio converter
(DAC) that is also a pre-amplifier with an analog input for your phono stage.  Just connect your computer, or other digital or analog sources, and
experience exceptional audiophile quality sound. The Comet DAC does
everything you would expect a high-end DAC to do, including balanced and
unbalanced analog outputs, digital volume control and asynchronous USB
input - all at a sensible price.

The Comet uses an FPGA (Field Programable Gate Array) for its DAC. That means that unlike the competition that uses a commercially available DAC chip from from companies like ESS, Wolfson or Burr brown, the Comet is all programmed by Exogal and is upgradable over the web. So it offers built in NON Obsolescence.

Comet
reviews have been exceptional.

THE ABSOLUTE SOUND REVIEW May / June 2015
Review of the Comet by Vade Forester.
He
says: "As a DAC and front end for digital sources, the Comet is a
spectacular success and, especially at its moderate price, I strongly
recommend you audition it in your system."

More
and more – the word on the street about Exogal is spreading. Here is another new
comment – this time from Jeff Fritz while reviewing a $65,000 dollar Swiss-made
amplifier. Yes, the Exogal Comet is his Preamp/DAC.

My
setup has changed over the past year. I’ve ditched my analog preamp for a DAC
with input switching: currently, the Exogal Comet ($2500)
with optional external power supply ($600 if purchased separately; you get a
$100 break if you buy them together, for a total of $3000). The Comet has
increasingly impressed me over the past few months. In fact, it’s fair to say
that I didn’t rave hard enough about it in my review (to be fair to myself, I
didn’t yet have the external power supply when I wrote that article). It’s a
giant killer.
The external power supply added solidity to the soundstage and
“blacker” backgrounds overall, thus raising the performance level several
notches.

"I've never
heard such a detailed, resolving DAC at this price. ... It sounds great not
only for its price, but regardless of price."

AUDIOSTREAM REVIEW 3-5-2015
Michael Lavorgna reviewed the Comet.
He says: "I'm not going to sugarcoat this: The Exogal Comet DAC is one fine sounding piece of technology."

Ultra High-End Audio and Home Theater Review
Frank
Berryman gives EXOGAL’s Comet DAC a glowing review and concludes that
the “...Exogal Comet has few if any peers in its class..”

All reviews have been with the stock power
supply. We were shocked at how much better it is with the upgraded power supply
now available for only $500.00 with purchase of the DAC or $600.00 as an add
on if purchased later. The new Exogal software allows the digital volume control to lose
no resolution at any volume level so it makes a great front end to drive
an amp.
The analog input allows connection of an analog source such as a
phono stage so no preamp is required in a digital system with a
turntable.

The Comet is designed for real-life listening with sound that’s amazing, whatever the setting. It offers easy digital upgrades for hardware and software. It is controlled by the Exogal Remote App for Android or Apple iOS as well as the included remote control.

The new matching ION power
amp will be out in July and is designed to turn this DAC/Amp package
into a full Power DAC that will compete with far more expensive packages
from only $5750.00.

Features:


  • Asynchronous USB, AES/EBU, SPDIF, Toslink, and line level Analog input

  • Direct connection analog outputs with 32-bit Digital Volume Control

  • Analog Outputs: one pair balanced (XLR), one pair unbalanced (RCA), one stereo Headphone

  • Single ended and balanced analog
    outputs can be used simultaneously. Single ended outputs can be
    programmed as stereo, or center/subwoofer operation. Single ended
    outputs have a programmable offset level from balanced outputs

  • Controlled by the Exogal Remote App for
    Android phone or tablet (running 4.3 or higher with BLE support) or an
    iPad, iPhone 4s or newer, or iPod Touch.

  • Three year factory warranty
