  1. I own an Abrahamsen V6 DAC, it is a company founded by previous owner of Electrocompaniet. My system is lightyears from being audiophile level but it is still a pleasure to listen to.
  2. earflapin, your elaborate explanation was enjoyable to read. It helped me get things into perspective. I already have my USB DAC which plays me the music the way I want to hear it, the motive behind this topic is purely educational. I agree that USB is now gaining momentum throughout the industry and is becoming more common. However it is quite frustrating that a lot of companies that market DAC's that are considered high end, don't release dedicated USB drivers for their gear. Spending endless man hours on research and fine tuning a DAC should at the very least be backed up with an appropriate software. Sending the customers to an audio settings tweaking journey is just not right.
  3. I need to know the maximum sample rate this DAC can receive using USB input. Can't find specs and the manufacturer isn't very responsive.
  4. Thanks Chris for clearing that. I can understand how the added functionallity and bit rate support outweighs the price.
  5. First let me introduce myself. I'm David and I've been a reader of this wonderful site for quite a while, learned a lot from each article and review. I now wish to gain further knowledge using these informative forums and I'm sure I'll have a pleasent stay. I've noticed most people here use professional soundcard, like Lynx AES16, to connect to their DAC. I understand AES/EBU is considered the best method of digital transfer however if the digital-analog conversion is done in the DAC wouldn't a simple card will suffice for delivering the bits using toslink/coax? what is the advantage of using soundcards that can be gret DAC's themselves just for using them as a transport? Is there a hidden purpose that eludes my mind?
