Any Hegel H390 owners using Hegel D50 DAC?

Having tried two well-regarded r2r DACs with disappointing results, I’m now wondering whether it might make sense to demo the D50, which, for some reason, rarely gets mentioned here.

If you want to suggest alternatives,  please be aware that 1) I only buy what can be auditioned at home and returned and 2) my budget is 6K. 

Thanks!

Good point about connections. Will keep that in mind.

Thanks. I’ve asked AI this question using different phrasing and gotten varying responses, including the erroneous assertion that the chip used in the D50 is AKM. I believe I’ve read/ watched all the reviews. Just thought I'd see if I could garner any further impressions here.

I’m fully aware that I’ll have to try the D50 for myself. I was simply curious to learn what others might’ve experienced. I’ve already contacted the dealer from whom I bought the H390 to verify their return policy applies to the D50 and am waiting to receive my refund for the most recent DAC I returned before ordering the D50.
