The Gustard A18 to complete the single AK4499 trio with SMSL M400 and Topping A90.
Maybe Shenzhenaudio can send one in? Send them a mail to ask if they can send one to ASRThe Gustard A18 to complete the single AK4499 trio with SMSL M400 and Topping A90.
The $199 Schiit Modius Balanced DAC through AES vs USB input. I’m interested if this can even reach topping E30’s performance given that the specs provided by Schiit isn’t too shabby.
@T.M.Noble any interest in sending Amir this Schiit for review?
That's great thank you!Amir received his Modius this past Saturday. I look forward to his review as well.
This is being sent in.I really wanna see Asgard 3 review with 4490 akm chip included. There is really no all in one option like this in the market with good build and strong amp. I wanna see how it measures.

"Reviewers" might mean Zeos, possibly behind patreon paywall at first.. lolRead on JDS blog the Atom DAC is out to reviewers hands. Is that true? If so, can't wait for the measurements!
Bakoon HPA-21 headphone amplifier would be very interesting: http://www.bakoon.com/product/hpa-21/
Barkoon is very convinced about their current drive headphone amp with "SATRI" circuit.
These cheap boards tend to be really crap, with bad/stiff RCA connectors, bad to none power filtering and sky-high output impedance in the case of a headphone out.ES9038Q2M based dac boards from aliexpress. I wonder how they really measure rather how they look.

There are too many of them and you can't be sure until someone who with proper equipment had measured them. When looking at component selection, I really can't see much difference with well measured ones. The black little board is just 25$ shipped and you can see all critical components there (except digital receiver of course). If that thing would measure worse than H8/Sonata HD boards, that would be really shame.These cheap boards tend to be really crap, with bad/stiff RCA connectors, bad to none power filtering and sky-high output impedance in the case of a headphone out.
I would suggest to save your money I'm never going that route again.
