Pure Audio Lotus 5 DAC


Has anyone had first hand experience of the Pure Audio Lotus 5 DAC? I note it has had some good reviews but would prefer to hear what real life users think.

Put a good quality power cord  on it and put in a good fuse . I heard my friends 
and it has different settings which you can alter the perspective a bit which is 
very good . The Schiit yggs gets a lot of great press in my system it did not mesh 
I liked the lotus better ,lower noise floor for sure not Hifi maybe a bit more accurate ,the Schiit yggs latest version had a bit more saturation 
but after upgrading my Amphion 3S monitors with The Jantzen Alumen ,caps,and path Audio resistors it is much more natural it needs a dac with a bit more control 
that was not bright ,in my case it bettered too the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge 
the dac in the lotus uses the latest Sabre 38 pro, which is a bit more advanced then the 28 ,in bothe benchmsrk3  which is very good but not forgiving at all with older CDs, or the other 2 mentioned . A steal for under $2k ,and I was told underwood wally was giving out a pretty decent power cord with it fir $1500 
and competes with most anything under $2500 -$3k is a no brainer. Too bad they don’t offer a 30 day trial .
