How do you power EU items? and how to ship an item to USA?

kijanki Thanks for giving me great insight on technical stuffs. I don't have the DAC yet, and I am getting a new integrated amp for my room,  which is a full digital, no DA converter, but tuned digitally to make class A amp sound. Reminded me of Denon 2500ne sound signature, but with much better in the lower end, maintaining same level of clarity and fun sensation in higher pitch. Just released in S.Korea a month ago. Their ad say they put a lot of effort in lowering background noise, but not sure what they exactly mean or how they did it. S. Korean companies are making all digitall all-in-one amps thesedays, like the Waversa Slim Lite selling on Audiogon. Not the same company of my new amp though.

talkskiwon, I would get the rest of the gear first.  There are basically two camps - accurate presentation camp and pleasant coloration camp (warm sound etc).  I belong to the first camp with Benchmark DAC3 HGC and Benchmark AHB2 power amp.   Benchmark DAC3 has very strong jitter suppression  for S/Pdif inputs but any electrical noise injected by physical connection can convert into unstable clock inside.  Because of that I decided to go Wi-Fi to Airport Express and then I use Toslink to DAC3, to avoid electrical connection.  

(I wouldn't buy anything from company that doesn't respond to emails)

kijanki I get a lot of recommendation for Benchmark DACs for the same reason you are in for those camps. My taste is slightly lean toward the colorzation camp, which a low physical intervention is much enouraged nevertheless. I understand you logics behind. Clear cut simple explanations. Thanks!
