Very interesting. A dac that is actually affordable. What transport sends out DSD? The Oppo does, but only over HDMI. Hope Stereophile reviews this! Please JA.
thanks

Probably more chance for this to be reviewed in a pro audio magazine first, but as you say a review here with the Stereophile focus would be interesting as well.

Looking at ProAudio Review, seems this is also under their radar (they have reviewed the 8x192 in the past).
Still, I cannot help point out that certain Pro manufacturers have made it across to audiophile press; major examples are Pass Labs and Chord Electronics (although consumer and not cheaper pro version usually reviewed), amongst others.

Definitely interested if you get more info on this product.

Thanks for the information. This would make a great comparison with my Benchmark.
