This low-priced DAC measures spectacularly and has the latest ESS Sabre DACs. Has anyone listened to it versus the "High-priced spreads"?

@d2girls
”what does sound have to do with anything, i was talking about the build quality”

This comment might be construed by some as a bit of a disconnect. I’m not trying to be inconsiderate but how can you possibly make a determination on build quality? You haven’t heard the dacs you mention and you are passing judgement on build quality based on internet photos or the opinions of others on the net? Are you saying dacs made only of milled aluminum cases can be good?
