Hi All,As I had recently sampled a few DSD DAC as a means of knowing which were worthy enough to share with a few friends and neighbors, as well as trying to gain insight into what was possible at various prices between $100 - $850 as far as curreht DACs go, I've been through 2 Topping's ( this one and their model D10 ) as well as the Pro-Ject DAC Box S2+ | DAC Box DS2 Ultra, the last of which I've decided to keep in my own system, hence my willingness to share this one, which to my ears is a very very capable DAC in its own rights, yet as with most items, one has to understand that hoarding in itself, isn't always a good thing. Said specs: It features the Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC chip and supports DSD64, DSD128, and PCM formats up to 24 bit/192 kHz. It has WIMA, EPCOS, and Nichicon FW capacitors, along with an OPA2134 high-fidelity opamp. It is a great DAC to build a system on and is especially user-friendly with a simple front panel.

And I'd like to thank those of you whom were kind enough to view say ad, and can only hope someone deems it worthy enough to pursue?, as I'm certain you'll quite surprised with what's on offer. And try not to hard to laugh at the username on my wife's and I's eBay Feedback, as I set it up years ago in her honor, yet was the only one to ever use it, one way or the other......., so be gentle. Here's wishing you all the best for the upcomjg holidays, and an even better New Year.
