Haha damn! Poisoned already.

Can recommend other brands and models at the price range lower than Dacport? Maybe not as good as Dacport but close lah.

I will go and audition these DACs before buying.
*
Apart from the DACport...
the only DAC that comes close would be the D6 Fer de lance...
And maybe the D12...never heard it before...

but if u listening off a computer....
Nothing beats the DACport! brows.gif

The DACport is neutral...no coloration to the sound...so u can even feed it to your favourite amp!

tried it with my friends' edifier e3100, the sound coming from it is really good... it emphasis the bass to be very tight and clarity shines when amping using D1....

now im looking for a NOS tube to play with the pretube amp... something that have synergy with grado...
*
but from what i know bro...
NOS 5670 is very limited and expensive!!!!
