Interesting, although given the issues with the 'class compatible' interfaces further up their range I won't be taking linux compatibility on trust.Sorry for my bad english :

I would still be very interested in the measurement of the Buffalo II DAC from Twistedpearaudio.
To my understanding it started not only the ESS DAC hype almost 10 years ago as the DAC was
available to the DIY community, but also the possibility of many small companies to get into the business
So it would be interesting if it holds up.
I have one assembled DAC with IVY output stage and shunt regulated power supplies,
but they are built into an old CD-Player with reworked casing. The stuff now weights 20kg
and has a glass top, not good for sending. I have a second Buffalo II with Ivy still unassembled.
But I am here in Germany, so maybe there is someone in the US who could loan one to Amir...?

If it will be possible - Sony TA-ZH1ES (and other Sony DAC & amp with S-master chip.)

I'd wager considering the comparisons to a totaldac, this thing fails even more spectacularly. Perhaps the worst price to performance ratio on the planet if I had to wager money..
That thing lacks so many features, and playback capabilities it's almost funny. And the internals look awful. At that price I would expect the interior to look better than anything else, instead it looks ancient.

Dang. It was MSRP $130 when I last looked. It'll drop after initial demand drops.
