I have the Exasound E20 DSD DAC inhouse.  I hope to give it a mini-review soon.  It is playing from my Win 8 CAPS V2+ server and all is well (all sample rates including DSD via ASIO).  I promised the designer (George Klissarov ) that I would try it sans preamp too.  I'm using J River with Exasounds's own ASIO driver.

Ted - any opinion on this DAC yet?  Looking forward to your review?

As Phil points out (scroll to top of Phil's link) I have a full review of it here on AC.  Search is your friend.  :)

Sorry, was expecting it on the same thread.  Too quick on the trigger.  Thanks.

That's OK.  I just look at it and follow it often (and bug Ted sometimes when he gets behind) as I'm probably going to make the plunge within a few months.  I may end up with the e20.  We'll see what CES brings too.

Ted,

I'd like to meet up with you at CES just to say hi and chat.  PM me the best way to get hold of you.  Thanks.

Jesus (Sonore US) is putting a DSD hardware/software database togther, and I am helping him.

We may add columns that address remote volume, etc.

Jesus is the man!  He is continually driving computer based audio to the next level.

Ted, for the database both of the Playback Designs DACs support standard and double speed DSD via USB.

Thx. Will make change when I get to my hotel

Edit:  United screwed up my connections for the second time today, missed a second flight in a row today due to paper snafu, so I am still airport bounding LA (yes, CLE to Vegas and somehow now stuck in LA!!)  Made the changes.  5 DAC requires USB-x, right?

We need to add it I think.  Also, I just added that the Resonnessence Invicta just joined the DSD club with its release of v4.0 of firmware, allowing DSF and DIFF via SD card, and DoP via USB.
