I am tired of upgrading processors every 3 years and am thinking of getting the Essence HDACC II 4K.
Has anyone an opinion about this DAC or this company? It is new to me. Thanks

So this is a multichannel dac, is  this going to be for a theater application? Hard to say how good the dac is, with no reviews you may have to give it a try.

The chip they use is the same as the benchmark 3 ($$$) which is highly reviewed. I want the HDMI connection to connect to my blueray player. I want to see if a dedicated dac will improve the SQ for music streaming, SACD, BRD, etc over my marantz processor.
