Supposedly in 1 to 2 weeks if information on this forum is correct

If it does have PEQ as is rumored, i'd like to see a deep dive into it. Show what it's capabilities and limitations are, and if it comes with any side effects.

Well that could be cool if it actually has any different features but who knows.

it is supposedly going to have PEQ. an entire thread related to the release of it and the D90 III can be found here.

D50 III has PEQ, and D90 III seems to be updated in the future.

I actually have zero interest in more stand alone DAC measurements that are merely a chip with a decent implementation of the application note around them.

Zero interest because those avoid the true challenges, imo.

I am interested in DACs with preamplifier capabilities, awesome integrated headphone amplification, and configurable sub output(s).

That’s funny to me because my primary DAC for many years was a Bryston BP-25DA preamp. It’s dated regarding inputs now (only coax), but with 44.1kHz/16 bit audio, it sounds just as good as my more contemporary DACs.

My perspective on DACs now is that I buy them for inputs and other features, not for SINAD and linearity.

Is it just me that's totally not interested in seeing yet another 100€+ perfectly measured DAC review? I mean we know that DACs are a solved problem with enough cash spent on it, so now I just want to see how good DACs can get when spending less than 100€ , or maybe even less than 10€.
Sure we might not get 120dB SINAD, but say 90dB with a flat frequency response is more than good enough for most application, as long as it has the features one needs, so either a small desktop DAC with balanced outputs or a small dongle for your laptop or phone.
Not that I have any particular in mind, so this is more of a broad request
