Hi Alan, I have no chance to compare to Yulong DA8 yet.

ES9018 DAC << this one is using single ESS9018 L.K.S ES9018 << this one is using dual ESS9018 HK dealer told me that from the mid of Sept, LKS change to 3 x small PCB mount toroid transformers the old version was 2* toroid transformers.

No, it haven't ipad, the screen cap is MPD but not the DAC control.

Just bought this DSD/DXD DAC from China ugly outlook support PCM352.8khz and also support PCM384khz No problem on DSD128 playback photo of inside (changeable opamp * 4) , you can see two ESS9018 chips inside PK with Teac UD501 For sq, It much better than Mytek DSD192 Stereo and Benchmark DAC2 HGC which two I used have before, ran less than 30 hours, LKS compare with fully modified TEAC (modified costs over USD500) the LKS sound wider and TEAC have thicker sound. The mean point is LKS only costs around USD800. Anthony

The reply from benchmark as follow

I have emailed the and addressed this issue, but no reply from them over a month.

Thanks a lot again Ted_b Do you think it is important whether the dac chips is pure 1 bit or not? thank you.

Korg using Cirrus Logic CS4398, is it pure 1 bit dac chips?

Thank you very much ted_b

Thank you for your reply, ted_b May I know which models of those dac chips? Thank you.

I noted that dealing the digital processing most of the delta sigma chips will convert to multi bits before digital convert to analog. I wonder any dac chips are running pure 1 bit? Thank you very much.

My benchmark dac2 only support dsd64, when I play dsd128 file via foobar2000, no sound come out from speaker.

I replaced my Squeezebox Touch with the cubox (ubuntu with MPD) connected to my Benchmark DAC2 HGC. Very good sound.

Dear all, After testing with foobar2000 and DAC2 fo playing back DSD128 again, it can't play back DSD128. Sorry for my bad.

Yes, it seem supports.
