Your Favorite ~$100 Multi-Input DAC?

[mrjktcvs]

Price speculation on the E30 and JDS Atom DAC? I left the JDS OL DAC off of my list because at $139 (w/ optical in) it costs more than the D30, and I don't think many would argue that it's better than the D30. Am I correct in imagining that the JDS Atom DAC will be up there, price-wise? I suppose that's fine as long as it incorporates a decent display. Perhaps it is aimed at the D50, M300, etc. ~$200 market? I hope that the E30 is still in the ~$125 range, making it competitive with the likes of the Sanskrit 10th v2 (AK4493), etc.

On March 28, 2020 JDS is selling the OL DAC for $99

I chose the modi 3 for toslink from tv and khadas for pc/usb

I would vote Topping D10 if it were an option. Performance is plenty good and the display is a nice bonus, plus you can save a little money.

I have a D10 and like it, but it will not work for this application (no optical input).
