I have been trying to figure out what price point DAC I should get and I think I am going to order this one. A bunch of people seem concerned that the ladder DAC design implementation is copied, but they have provided a side-by-side photo of several others and they are all so similar that I agree with their point that the real design is not the ladder layout which is very straightforward.
