The Corda Symphony was released on October, 2008. It's considered per Jan as the succesor to his praised Corda Opera, and is considered by him as his best amp to date. Some people have been lucky enough to grab one, and their impressions can be found in the next pages.
If you are interested on it, you can check Meier Audio's site at: Meier-Audio
Yes, it has a built in DAC with the Wolfson WM8741 as the D/A converter and some Texas Instruments ones for the USB to S/PDIF inputs. It's actually a great DAC structure... It's supposed to be better than that of the Opera. And the Symphony even has 3 digital inputs!
I don't know about the price, but considering that all the amps had a price drop, I think this one will be meant to fill the price category of the Opera; about $1300-1400... but maybe it could cost a bit more
reading the specs it looks like an Opera with a better and more flexible DAC. I agree with jma790: I bet the price will be in the (original) Opera range ~€800-900. Hard to tell these days how much that will be in US$ in October...
