Cameron (Golden Sound) is a friend of mine. So intelligent it's silly. That was great work too.

This looks interesting:

DSD1024 and high rate PCM. Flagship AKM. Under $800US.
The Sabre based Aquila II was reviewed by Darko, but this has come out.
Best part is the screen has a bouncy graphic equalizer

That looks like a seriously yummy DAC/HPA. Love the red-finish version.
Price with that seller is lower than AliExpress too.
Nice!

Nice-looking unit and, if the specs are anything to go by, should sound terrific.

There are plenty of pieces of kit that I could name which are marketed on their 'specs' but sound like a sack of spanners.

Everything I've heard with an ESS chip has been good for only one thing - removing the fillings from your teeth. That was a couple of years ago, though, and YMMV, of course.
