Any DACs have the Sabre 32bit D/A Converter ??

I'm in the market for a DAC and am curious if there are any
DAC's for about $1000 or less that use a Sabre 32bit D/A converter.

I know the Peachtree Nova uses a Sabre D/A but I am looking
for a DAC that is just a D/A and not an integrated amp as
well.

Thanks..

Eastern Electric was supposed to release the DAC 001 which uses the ESS Sabre Chip. If you are interested contact Bill O'Connell at Morningstar Audio Imports. The DAC uses Both Tube and SS outputs and I belive a USB Input.

The Wavelength Crimson uses the new Sabre chips, but it is well above your price point. Why do you want a DAC with this chip?

I belive Krell and SimAudio also use his dac in their statement products. They are well over a grand though.

The Nova can be used as a stand alone DAC, DAC/Pre, and DAC/Integrated amp.
