NuForce DAC-9

It seems to be now shipping and its quite an interesting unit. There has been some info floating that it uses two ESS9018 Sabre DAC's in mono output, giving it eight DAC chips per channel. Discrete output stage an upgradable USB input as they are claiming to release a 24/192 USB later on.

Has anyone seen or heard this product yet? I'm inclined to give it the thirty day try.

Mmeysarosh, I agree that this DAC has several design aspects which give it the potential to be an exceptional performer. Please let us know your impressions once you hear it, as I'd be most interested in your findings. Thanks in advance!

I have used the uDAC2 and the Nuforce icon. It seems like they went to the next level with this one. Seems interesting.

My DAC-9 should land next week as well :) I intend to use it via its built-in preamp and USB input.
