The upshot from the lab report is dont spend your money on something like that but spend $2K on a Mytek Brooklyn DAC in conjunction with a well measuring but cheap and cheerful PC source, connected by USB and running your software of choice.
Not PC literate?..pay someone for a couple of hours work to set the PC up.
Job done and your bank account will thank you.
What is always missing from the companies that market these types of expensive products (which are always based on commodity motherboards) is what were the measured incremental improvements at the outputs (spdif/usb) as they applied their bits of "secret sauce".
For example, what real world improvement does running this off the batteries really provide... and what was the comparisons (stock switching PSU/LPS/external battery... which can all be had for chump change).
I was also bemused (among many things) by the fact that the "cache" is in fact an SSD drive and they claim that by using an SSD drive as cache separate from the SSD drives that store your music, this magically improves the sound. How?
Both are SSD drives with the same level of intrinsic noise.
Also why 1TB for the cache. A typical CD quality album is 650MB and a typical internet stream is running at ~200kilobytes/second so its hard to see why you need such a large cache that will never ever be filled up.
Double USB isolation?. Get a Topping HS01/HS02 which are proven to work and cost bugger all.
Anyways, always amusing to see these products and its hard to see where the money they want is actually represented in the BOM.
