Regarding reliability with ChiFi, I have a Gustard x20 pro. The display has paritally failed. I also read some threads online about similar display failures in their headphone amps or preamps, and in the case of a headphone amp, a failure of the volume control relays.
reliable DDC
I'm in need of a good DDC for a DAC that only takes SPDIF input. So I need USB > SPDIF. I own a Gustard U18 and it's working, but I've read a lot of stuff about reliability problems with Gustard or Chi-fi in general. The only other audiophile level DDC I know of is the Denafrips, also Chinese. Are there any audiophile level DDCs made elsewhere in the world (say, USA?)

@tony1954 Whoa, you're projecting. I'm bringing up a concern that I've encountered all over the forums. If it's not reality, then it's not. |
@mitch2 Thanks, the Holo Red looks interesting. |
