Has anyone heard this new DAC (it may not have been released yet but maybe there are some "preview" listenings)? Any comparisons with other DACs (e.g. Benchmark, Bel Canto, etc)? I currently have a DAC1-USB and am curious as to whether this new HR DAC would be a worthwhile upgrade.

I know people bash on Bose because of they're over priced and I agree. I believe these retail for about $150 or so and I paid $85 for these due to employee discount at where I work. With that...

It will be in action at CanJam this weekend, so you'll probably get plenty of impressions next week.

The headroom dac uses the ESS Sabre part. It does not do 24b/96 Khz over USB like your DAC1 USB.

bump for this thread,
i am very intereseted in a new DAC, and this seems to be very good (Sabre 32 Chip is a new one, and from a specifications point of view it is the Best)
Some impressions from CanJam '09 would be nice

Wonder why they chose not to use the newest of the Sabre 32 chips?
