In comparison, the Emotiva DAC has extremely high current power supply that has a +12V and -12V lines to the op amp / audio circuits. This is much better than another DAC that uses switching wal-wart or only a 5V USB power supply.
The better amp?
http://www.ti.com/product/OPA2134 OR http://www.ti.com/product/TPA6120A2/description the TPA6120A2 can be used fully diferential(balanced) to a studio monitor or amp, just like the OPA2134, but which has a better sound quality? the TPA6120A2 is in a Roland Mobile UA USB interface(https://www.roland.com/global/products/mobile_ua/) with the DAC AKM AK4414EQ, and the OPA2134 in the Emotiva DAC pre-amp XDA1(https://darko.audio/2011/08/emotiva-xda-1-dac/) with the DAC Analog devices AD1955. thanks...
