Should add the Audio Note DAC 2.1 to this list. There'll be a review of it in the next month or so

Can you also add the Cyrus DAC-X / DAC-XP into the list? I believe they retail for 1000 pounds (DAC-X) and 2000 pounds (DAC-XP).

Cheers!

I remember Goldmund from Swiss. But I believe nowadays they use complex set-ups, like DACs inside a monoblock power amplifier, A/D converts in their preamps and things like that (multichannel EQ software for rooms, for example).

EDIT: Oh, and D/A modules inside "pure" analog preamps.
