The unit that is 4x the price is the Wavedream Signature. The Wavelight is $4950 while the HydraVox/Zap combo $4500 list. The difference is the Audiobyte is a pure FPGA DAC while the Wavelight is an R2R DAC with an FPGA front end.
OCD Guy is not the sole importer of any of these products. The US and Canadian distributor for Rockna is Worldwide Wholesalers in Canada. Audiobyte is sold in the US direct from Rockna/Audiobyte in Romania. I buy Audiobyte direct from Romania.
I have Wavelights in-stock and am waiting on my Audiobyte stock so I can do a side-by side comparison of the two. I am going to try each firmware option on the Audiobyte and will be writing up a detailed POV on each.
