I would never buy a DAC! I want a decent one built in to my integrated Amp. It's just a chip. Hopefully the new Wiim Amp tests well. SVS, Sonos, Bluesound, FOSI, Yamama...you all get a chance too. Build a great inexpensive streaming Class D Amp or watch companies like Wiim take all of your business away.I would never spend $1,000 for a DAC.
