The FX audio 502 HiFi DAC SA9023+CS8422+TASS5508C+TAS5342A+STM8S103F3-32+PCM1808 $43
The Dayton DTA 2 PRO SA9023+CS8416+TAS5342A+TAS5508C+DAC PCM1808+NE5532 • $120
The FX audio 802CPRO
STA326 + S & PDIF AK4113 + Audio Controller / CM6642+ CSRA64215 4.2 + NFC
+ ADC Wolfson WM8782S $107

Firstly the 502 is not the same as the one tested on this site, it has a different chipset, the one tested on this site if I am not mistaken is only a power amplifier. And the only difference between the 502 above and the Dayton DTA pro is the chip NE5532 which the FX audio is lacking and has this chipset STM8S103F3-32. Is it worth paying around $60 more to get the Dayton DTA 2 Pro when everything else is the same?

Also, what about FX audio's new product 802C PRO is it better than the DTA 2 Pro?

Any help will be appreciated? I would love to choose the correct product from the get go. The first two are from the States so I can potentially send to Amir. I have looked carefully they haven't been tested.
