I doubt if you would consider it, but the Exemplar XD-1 DAC in its most recent form is flatout unbelievable. I have not heard anything that approaches it regardless of price, and it cost $2500.
WHERE ARE THE BIG DAC ???
For many months still searching for the big one ! (tube dac)
It seem that the tendancy is Korean, Chineese, Taiwanese fairly unknown plug and play cheap dac that promise you the sonic paradise before you die ....
