@steakster I agree with you here. For a component as important as a DAC, take your time in deciding. But I do not agree with your statement here. Generally speaking, the best giant-killer opportunities are with pre-owned gear - not low MSR...

Still, it’s an awful lot of faffing around for a cheap DAC. I actually was looking at a more expensive DAC. It was the Laiv Harmony DAC for $2700, but right now and in the near future that’s just to much money for me to allocate for a DAC. So ...

@steakster , thanks for the thoughtful answer/explanation. If I do decide to get the Liav µDAC I’d run it through my Eversolo DMP-A8 XLR input connectors. Or get the Holo Audio Cyan2 DAC with female rca jacks. (And sell my Eversolo DMP8?) And my...

@steakster, how do you compare the performance/cost between the Purist Audio Design adapters you tried and the Cardas adapters?

@snowdog57, thank you for this post, the Laiv uDac is exactly the next dac I wanted to try out and was wondering how to connect to my Micrzotl MZ3 that only has rca jacks? @mulveling, my man! Thanks for the tip on those Cardas f-xlr to f-rca adap... 
Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer
*Question; So each plug on the back of the TaiHang will deliver 15A per outlet even when all 4 outlets are in use? Thus 60A in total assuming the wall outlet is giving 15 A capacity? Thank you, *@daytrader: Each outlet is capable of delivering 15...
