[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 809036, member: 1447"] I happen to agree with Hi-Phibian but i can nevertheless inform you that it uses an ESS Sabre 9010K2M which is the little brother of the 9018K2M .... here is some information on the specs of these chips [url=http://www.esstech.com/index.php/en/products/sabre-digital-analog-converters/sabre-hifi-mobile-dacs/sabre-hifi-stereo-dacs/es9010k2m/]http://www.esstech.com/index.php/en/products/sabre-digital-analog-converters/sabre-hifi-mobile-dacs/sabre-hifi-stereo-dacs/es9010k2m/[/url] there are plenty reviews of the uDSD in the forum - just type in Nuprime uDSD as a search string - and its the same DAC chip as used in the Nuprime IDA-8 amplifier as i have mentioned elsewhere - this thing performs pretty well - just that its a bit larger than something like an Audioquest Dragonfly but its about on par with a Fiio or Schiit in terms of size and weight but exceeds most of the features found on most other competitors .... in terms of sound at worst it should sound as good as (arguably better to my ears but im biased because i got mine at a great price) any of those other competitors that you mentioned are you planning on using it with a computer or with a cell phone? - since with a computer for Apple it just installs automatically and doesnt need additional drivers and with Windows you need a driver found on the Nuprime website - but for phones the phone has to have USB host control compatibility and also a strong battery so it might not work with some cheaper model cell phones [/QUOTE]
