Dealer in full discloser. Have some more experience with the DDP-2 as a DAC and as an analog preamp, I total agree with rickallen81, " it’s really really good". Sounds like high end separates. I have used it both as a DAC and preamp together for m... 
Manufacturers pushing their products and agenda in the forums.
Its interesting being a dealer who also likes to talk audio on forums. I really don't try to sell anything, other than responding to thread topics about products we carry, and offering risk free trials. The products can try and earn their position...
