Hi,

 

I believe the planet of sound is the distributor for north america.  Here is the link below.  I haven't ordered from them yet, so I have no idea whether they charge shipping or quality of service.  Just if you happen to find out, please let me know.  Thanks!

Why the need for the higher sampling rate or some of the other stuff?  Will SACD stuff basically get dropped into a lower sampling and obviously sound like a lower end version of it?

 

I was going to recommend the Oritek OMZ Pre/Dac, but it is at 24/96...oh, and it sounds incredible;)...even with a built in headphone amp that I have not tried, but is supposed to have good sound up to a certain volume and per headphone efficiency level of course.

 

I have used the passive designs, but the pre/dac is well into many other leagues and IMHO, comparable with the very finest pre/dac's out there, cost no option.
