I would still be very interested in the measurement of the Buffalo II DAC from Twistedpearaudio.
To my understanding it started not only the ESS DAC hype almost 10 years ago as the DAC was
available to the DIY community, but also the possibility of many small companies to get into the business
So it would be interesting if it holds up.
I have one assembled DAC with IVY output stage and shunt regulated power supplies,
but they are built into an old CD-Player with reworked casing. The stuff now weights 20kg
and has a glass top, not good for sending. I have a second Buffalo II with Ivy still unassembled.
But I am here in Germany, so maybe there is someone in the US who could loan one to Amir...?
