The DS dac is a fantastic product that offers better sq and features than 2x or 3x more expensive dacs. Sometimes, When you hear people indicating that they didn’t like the DS they were using an older firmware release and this makes a big difference. To me, each firmware update raises the sq, and it’s damn good to start with.
As for features, who else has network (Ethernet) input, i2s input, free firmware upgrades, can easily drive an amp without using a preamp, MQA support, Roon endpoint, and it’s FPGA based?
