Audio GD has presented a couple of new products today, I think, the Compass 384 and NFB 3 (384), with the PCM5102 DAC chip. Does anyone know any other products that use this chip? How does it compare to Wolfson or Sabre DACs?

And for now, the most popular amp on head-fi is the Audio GD SA-31!       Elementary (0-1000)   Audio GD SA-31     Intermediate(1000-2000)     Advanced(2000-...)
