This is a list of standalone DACs only, otherwise every receiver since 1995 would be included. Devices that contain other features but allow standalone D/A (ex. E-MU 0404 USB) are included. In other words, if that integrated amplifier had outputs from the DAC section that bypassed all of the amplification sections, it could be included.

I can't find the XiangSheng DAC-01 for sale anywhere. I'll add it to the list once its availability has been confirmed. It would also be nice to know what DAC chip it uses.

The Xiangsheng DAC-01
Hefei XiangSheng Electronic Co.,Ltd - Display - Products - DAC-01 24BIT / 96KHZ Multifuctional Decoders


It sells for about $75 + shipping. I believe it uses a C-Media DAC chip. You can email Xiangsheng for more details.
