I don't believe you can find a better DAC at this price range and it even tops allot of gear going for 800+€.
I call it the cure for the digitalit.
It uses 2xBurr-Brown PCM63-P chips famous for their musicality, PMD-100 HDCD filter, Black Gate capacitors, etc..
It features 4 push-button switchable digital inputs for all of your sources (2 coaxial, 1 TOSlink, 1 AES/EBU), phase inversion, and LED indicators for frequency and HDCD status.
Asking 214£.
