I often times have fallen for the hype. Patience is a key to not paying too much in the long run. (Which gives you more funds to buy more things ).

Great review and it is obvious to me you have very good taste! Suffice to say, I think the X26 Pro will “tide me over” for quite some time in my PC head-fi system, and your review confirms that. What I’m curious about more than anything is the real benefit of running their (or competing brands’) external clock and/or USB bridge. Gustard U/C16 combo, Singxer SU-6, which I believe is both a bridge and clock?? That type of thing. Thank you!

Very good review !! I am curious to know your opinion about the best Dac that you have listened to this day?

Hello.

I use myself an LSA HP-1.
And seeing you own a lot of flagships much more expensive, what do you think of the HP-1 in comparison ?
Thank you.

Philippe.

@Hartford I am writing HP-1 review now. Will be done in 2 weeks.

@Cat Music The best analog sound award goes to Bricasti M1SE; Best analytical sound goes to 8XR; Best DSD goes to EMM/Meniter DACs( never own but have demoed). I am personally more into the pro gear or semi-pro gears.
