Anyone with experince with Dodson 218DAC?

A dealer who I know (a long long way from me unfortunatly) says this is perhaps the worlds best DAC. Anyone with experince? Is it possible to sell a 8000USD DAC without SACD or DVDA?

Very peculiar. My personal explanation is that its so expensiv that nobody going to buy it if its not get a glowing review in Sphile or TAS.

Some do DVDa, but not that many. The Zanden DAC sells for around $10k and only does redbook. It is a great sounding DAC, but demo before you buy, not everyone likes it. MBL makes an awesome sounding DAC that is over $10k. As does Audio Note. Both only do redbook. The Audio Logic DAC is 24/96 and does DVDa and is a great sounding DAC for around $5k. I think the Audio Logic DAC is a superior DAC to any of the previous generations of Dodson DACs. I am not sure on the 218 serious, but I bet it is at least competitive. DB
