I have read conflicting information as to the AKM chips used.
AKM 4399 or AKM 4490? If the newer chip is being used, is the "velvet filter" part of the picture? (AKM Literature)
Excited to hear impressions about this DAC. I am listening to R2R dac now (DIY AudioNoteKits 4.1), and have been DAC shopping lately.
The BDA-3 is in the price range, has stellar connectivity (I am hoping to upsample my library to DSD via HQPlayer from Roon, and stream the DSD straight to the DAC), I also greatly appreciate the HDMI portion. I have my system with a DVD player, Cable box, and both the audio computer and my Desk computer that could connect through the BDA-3 to my TV. Perhaps even with better voice sync when watching bluray and DVD.
