TEAC UD-301 Headphone AMP / DAC I'm the original owner having purchased it new from Crutchfield. I had been using it in my office at work on occasion. At the beginning covid I switched to working from home and haven't used it since as I already had a setup there. Official specs are posted here...

At the time of this writing, looks like they have units in stock and a 10% off sale putting them at $3599.99 https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=37887

I'm looking forward to "Blossoms Shanghai" when / if it comes out later this year.

The box sets that King Crimson have been releasing have been worthwhile IMHO. For me it's a tossup between the "Starless" or "Road to Red" boxes. I also like that they offered some of the box material as standalone content.

Open Your Eyes from 1997 This was later remade as Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise in 2001

Assuming that the HTP-1 was intended as a flagship model, I was hoping that at some point a more stripped down version would be introduced (fewer channels, etc) at a lower price point. With this current info, that seems rather unlikely. Too bad for me.

Looks like Topping has moved back to AKM for the E30 series: https://shenzhenaudio.com/collections/decoder-dac/products/topping-e30-ii-dual-ak4493s-decoder-dac-with-remote-control-hi-res-decoder

I wasn't able to get this to work for me, but using JRiver Media Center, it reports the DR level is 13 for the above track:

Here's one of the tracks from the blu-ray for the sake of comparison:

The surround mix of this is also quite nice.
