Elephas, How much you get this DAC? What is the cheapest to get a 100% NEW DAC64 now?

RnB Diamond Reference is good too.

One of the member "hentona" he is very active on fixup His newest signature is: The most I use: Home: Sound Application Linestage + Burmester 948 > Esoteric P01/Burmester 969 > Wadia 921,931/ other DACs > Headroom Max/SR-007tA > SR-007/L3000/R10/Qualia010 now with Siltech balanced cable...

As I know the detail from UE it should be superfi XXX. Triple trivers dual low and single high, universal fit, more colour eg. red and blue and the price will cheaper than E500.

As I know UE will have a new superfi will come out after E500 (coming summer). It is triple drivers. I suggest wait them all out before decide which you go for.

Do anybody know when will Xin start to ship the newest smIV?

I like her album - Best. I think the season is the best song from her. But Misia is still the best for me.
