It only exists in your mind people. But will cost you $2300 smackers!
Little is known but hype is big. I am on board or am I??

  All I know it is coming from two very good designers. The inexpensive Bitfrost is a over achiever.

   Mike what DAC are you comparing it to ? USB only or SPDIF connection ? USB/SPDIF converter.
    Have you tried a transport or just using computer ?

I haven't even heard it yet.. just reading the hype on it. The final version of the dad isn't even released yet. Right now I am using the Yulong DA8. Its a good DAC, but not great.  Good headphone amp too.

Hey Mike

I thin k you will be very happy with it. I've been using the Modi version for a year now and just upgraded to the Uber2 version. Even though they are at way different price points, I am satisfied.
