Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Agreee. Well said - RE: Summary of Latest SMSL and Topping DACs

"2. You can find much less expensive DACs with these same chips but I prefer these "mid-priced" units because they usually offer better power supplies, critical parts, features, etc."

I agree. My sweet spot for excellent sounding modern DACs seems to be right around $1000 +/- a bit. I can go upwards of $2000 but I can't justify spending more unless I require the prestige of an audiophile brand.

I like Apos too but some of the SMSL and Topping can be found on Amazon.

Gustard, Denafrips, RME (German company), and Schiit (US company) also offer excellent sanely priced DACs.
