You forget that the 'Global price' excludes VAT, and probably any applicable EU import duties. That brings the reasonable expectation to at least £420.So you would think that the price in the UK would be about £350

Would someone be able to tell me if the volume control is analogue, digital, or a combination (like the RME ADI DAC-2). Thanks.
USB will also go into I2S as an intermediary format. I2S input is really niche, serves no point.. it's not a good transport format.Hi community,
I came across this forum when looking for a new DAC - I've enjoyed reading this thread very much!
But one thing that is not clear to me why it is not a topic to have a I2S interface for this DAC.
Currently I am using a RPi running volumio and my DAC is connected via I2S. As I understood this is simple and efficient - or am I wrong?
Many thanks and excuse my bad english.
Simple and efficient for a DAC that plugs directly onto the Pi, or uses a very short cable, as I2S was only designed for use between chips inside digital audio equipment. To send it over longer cables is more complicated - usually involving LVDS converters at each end of an HDMI cable - and no better than a properly designed USB interface. There's a thread with measurements and a load of discussion of the details, but I can't find it right now.Hi community,

That's the one - I was searching for I2S not i²s
No.Will the fix if the ESS bump have any impact on the SINAD score?
I believe all units ordered will be fixed ones! Right, @Ben1987?Hey guys ! I didn't really follow the thread so far, but this one has been on my list of favorites since the beginning but of course I'd prefer it without the bump even though I'm not sure if it's audible ?
Someone can tell me that if I order tomorrow on Amazon Europe I'll get the version without the hump, thank you Fred.
