Also been experimenting with really-cheap NOS TDA1387 x 8 units ... sounds decent for under $50 ...

 

Where do you find that DAC nowadays for under $50?

 

If you are interested I could build you a custom DAC based on TDA1387s for under $300. Send me a PM if you'd like to chat about that. It would certainly sound better than this DAC as I'll employ all the tricks I learned from modding this DAC - we had a long thread about it on DIYAudio : https://www.diyaudio.com/wiki/TDA1387_X8_NOS_DAC
