    699,99 the best price I found in Italy Anyway, it is based on a pair of ES9016S and audiosciencereview did not review it yet (so, no way to compare to the others) Impressive connection options though.

    DAC under 300 EUR

    I understand they have several different features. I am not a big fan of displays beyond troubleshooting purposes (e.g. "what the hell is it doing?!")
