Veracity is a family run business making audio products with difference. We do it all here, in the Heart of England, with our own resources and help from local artisan businesses. The project started as Gregor Szymczyk's passion to create audio which could challenge the status quo in excellence for music reproduction.
In my city was a shop called Bomis with the surplus parts from a Grundig/Unitra factory available. I was making Grundig`s TK141, TK241, C260 tape recorders in my bedroom from parts and sell or exchange them for many things :) with my mates and as I see now, their parents too. I made also a number of record players.
Not much later, `magnetically pulled`, I worked for Philharmonic Hall for few years where I learned much for my constant audio projects. Recording live performances on eight tracks Fostex was a great learning curve in understanding about home sound reproduction. I was striving as to how the realism, emotion of live venue could be brought home? It can`t really, but we can get close, so close that our hearing and imagination may grant us similar sheer pleasure. To read more see

century and add a device to my system that would help me on the way to start downloading music from the internet.
Through the Veracity Audio website I contacted Gregor Szymczyk, the creator and builder of the Mystra to see if it would replace my current preamp. Gregor was most helpful and assured me that Mystra would do just that so I went ahead and ordered one.
I have been living with the Mystra for a couple of months now and can confirm that Chris Wards review in Hifi Choice was spot on!
Aesthetically I find the quality of this DAC to be excellent; also the level of customer care and service that I have received from VAD is second to none. I feel privileged to own this piece and am convinced that many other high end DAC's that are available would look very overpriced in comparison to this. DAC-10 has certainly not been a cheap purchase for me, I had to save up for a while to be able to afford to buy this, but music and the quality of sound reproduction are extremely important to me. I felt that DAC-10 was able to fulfill and surpass my expectations, I also feel like I am receiving excellent value for money. My previous transport and DAC was more expensive than DAC-10, but the performance was not in the same league.
derful product, I have tried a few other high end dacs since, and i always come back to my VAD. Gregor gives a very personal service, which is lacking in this industry. I dont think i will be looking at other dacs anymore im just wasting my time and energy. The engaging organic sound i get from Gregor`s dac is very difficult to replicate. Thank you for designing such a wonderful product straight from the heart.''
