Well we have to wait and see if anyone test this product properly ideally with several different USB DAC's it would be nice to the analog out on DAC where this product is used . And something have happened with DAC's the last decade you get good to extreme performance everywhere ( it was not so in the 90's ) hence many boutique designers go to tubes NOS design or old chips to be sure that their design do sound different ;) or the latest fad with novel filter designs -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
