We Use the Best Parts.

When an engineering team is presented with the parts budget for a device they are constructing, they are forced to make many compromises. Even though, remaining within the budget, they choose the least possible compromise, several of these small compromises together result in perhaps a fairly good solution, but by far not the solution that was initially envisaged by the engineers.

LessLoss engineers have the advantage of total freedom in every choice of componentry and design. The DAC 2004 is the exact realization of their initial componentry wish list. LessLoss employs only such components which lead to the best possible solution. Is the price too high to pay for such noble components? At LessLoss, such questions are never raised.
