57gold Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Seems like there are a bunch of newly introduced potentially high value DACs. Or maybe they are just low cost with impressive parts and test results but fall short on sonics? Would be cool to have one of the experienced reviewers run a handful of these units through their systems and ears comparing them to some more well-known AS endorsed units, say a Brooklyn or an Yggie or an Ayre...

57gold Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Yup...I guess they all are ESS chip-based life forms. As are Sabaj, SMSL, Gustard... Other non ESS based ones aspiring to the bargain bin section of the DAC world? Tone with Soul Link to comment
57gold Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 FWIW - Bargain priced to me is relative. $1,300 versus $4,400 qualifies as a relative bargain. DAC in question operates with 2 high end DAC chips that show up in $3-5K DACs, with only one of the chips. Wondered if lower priced units included good digital parts but fall short on analog outs, which member motberg seems to believe due to lack of dynamics of the bargain unit he checked out.
