-edit- I just ordered panels for my DAC build, so I hope the DAC retains the name "Buffalo," or I'll have an oddly labeled front panel ;p

Russ,

Have you had any success with DSD and the Buffalo? Any idea on pricing?

I think as long as the DSD is unencrypted it's good. I saw that either Russ or Brian had tested DSD with a Denon 2910.

Nice stuff, Brian & Russ! I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

The first batch are up for sale tonight (Apr 26) at 10PM EST, first come, first serve. Will be getting more in a few weeks. Details on our site. We will only do complete modules for these (first 20). Next batch will also be bare boards and boards with premounted chip.

I'm so tempted...does the Sabre DAC module have an SPDIF input? If so, I think I could run the current output from the Sabre DAC into the I/V section of one of my ezDAC boards. What is the current level coming out of the DAC, Brian?

OK, idiotic question du jour: Will this be a drop in replacement for the OPUS, and will it work with the s/pdif receiver?

My understanding is no to both questions. The design of the Sabre builds the receiver (and an upsampler) into the chip itself, which is one aspect that makes this chip so great. So everything up to the output stage is now on a single board.

The metronome should still work. So would have gotten this.
