[QUOTE="xenithon, post: 1109387, member: 467"] Saw this the other day. Really like the form factor and [I]most [/I]of the specs. But personally not a fan of the ESS DAC chips that all these DACs / all-in-one units seem to be coming out with. In general not a fan of the sound, though granted a lot depends on implementation. Would be great to see some more AKM, BB, R2R, and proprietary DACs at the heart of these. Also, one small bugbear - related to the above - is the lack of analog input. That would be super useful to be able to bypass the internal DACs (though then it serves as just a headamp). [/QUOTE]
