Great review as always John. Finally got to hear how the DA8 compare with D18. 

Project86, you'll be reviewing this one too right?

Quote: +1    Oh and great review as always project86

Hmm, now i'm curious how does mine look like under the hood...

I've been using mine for about 6 months, build quality is good. It's plug and play for my mac. Can't really commend for the sound as it's my first converter. There's just one problem with my mac (old not unibody macbook pro). Once a while, if i plug it off my mac it won't recognize it when i...

Quote: So you're going to buy back the WA22?

Please...

Quote: Don't forget to compare it with tube dac 11 and dr.dac2 dx!

Quote: D18 with HD650 sounds great for me it's not too warm. There's also another user that uses D18 with La Figaro 339 to pair with his HD650, he also likes the sound of it. But then again, every body's different. 

Thank you Max! I see it now.   Like the blue light, looks really nice!

Quote: Hmm... interesting. Somehow didn't work on my computer. OH well. I'll try again later tonight.   Thanks anyway Max.

Quote: Thanks Maxvla,   But somehow I can't see the pictures, broken link?

Ok guys, pictures please...

So Project86, when will the review be up? 

X-Sabre DSD?

Quote: Wlz, back in beijing?

Quote: I think you'll like the D18. I demoed both the TD11 and D18 before I bought the D18

Quote: This.... might just put me in trouble again.... Slow down a little John?

Quote: I'd say give the D18 a try, it doesn't cover the detail, but makes it smoother (unless you don't like the detail to be smooth). Grant fidelity has a 30 day trial which sounds like a good deal for me. The only problem is, D18 doesn't have usb port, so you'll have to use usb-s/pdif...

I wonder if DSD actually sounds better or it's just going to be another hype.

Also, the material for the case is apparently the same like the X-SPDIF (this one most likely got inspired by stello u3). http://www.matrix-digi.com/en/products/22/index.html

Here you go   http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.1.qDUhzf&id=18922147026   Oh and somehow I missed this, but in red it's said the unit is already at the store, so customers can come and listen. But as for the price, that's just what they predict, apparently matrix hasn't...

I'm thinking of getting the CSP2+, does the capacitor upgrade really make a big difference? or should i just spend more on tube rolling?
