I am coming to the same conclusion.    After listening to the X-Sabre that the review says is alot like the Yulong DA8, I am finding that the quality increase is not worth the SGD$1400.   I was really hoping that it will be another level and blow me out the water. But it is more like an...

  Managed to get the X-Sabre to audition for 7 days. Just got it tonight and I can tell that is much more detailed then my old DEQ24/96 DAC section.   Still using my DEQ24/96 digital EQ section but bypassing the DAC section.   Also, my goodness the bass it back :) I have been so long...
