There appears nothing special about it, yet it costs $6k. Meanwhile you can get an LKS that is dual differential balanced 9038s, two transformers and is ultra low noise regulated throughout and 100% discrete output circuit...for less than $1,500. Nothing special about it, other than lots of users and critics that say is an exceptional sounding DAC. And of course you know all about the LKS and how it sounds, because you read a review of it and saw the bullet points of what it is. Do you have expert opinion about exactly what parts are in it and their quality? Do you not understand that thee are reasons the cost is so low-and they aren’t all due to labor costs? tmtomh and mav52 2 Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments.
