Jeff stressed that the Comet is not just a DAC, as a DAC is normally occupied with crunching numbers through interpolation, either oversampling or upsampling, and filtering the result. Aspirations run high for Exogal, as evidenced by the name referring to “Out of this Galaxy,” sound. When a team of leaders having depth of experience pools their resources, a quality product had better result, or they might be ex-industry members!
