Excellent DAC for a sensible price.<\/p>\n
We’ve reviewed this DAC alongside far more expensive units and it holds its own very well. It worked best with our Aurender N100H via USB but also performed well via Optical in from our CD player.<\/p>\n
We reckon this is a no-brainer DAC for anyone with a CD player in the $1000 – $2000 range and wants better performance, or for anyone using a server or streamer device.<\/p>\n
