G'day John, First post, long time Squeezebox v3 and Boom owner, but I'm looking to move to the Touch and a USB dac. I'd actually come across Augiogd as a company through researching some headphone DACs, so I'm very glad to hear you're a fan of them! I was looking at their current product listing and the DAC19DSP1 is currently listed as discontinued. I see you're not a huge fan of their "newer" NFB models. Given I'm looking at purchasing a DAC in that sort of price range, do you reckon I snap up the DAC19DSP1 before they disappear? Cheers, and thanks for all of your amazing work.
