I should have mentioned that AMR is about to come out with a new version of the DP-777. I believe it will utilize one DAC chip instead of two separate chips and will be DSD-enabled. I am pretty sure that I was able to pick up mine at the price I got it for because the seller wanted to get the newest version. Darren told me that version 1 can be "upgraded" for about $1,000 and that he would be performing the mods personally. My take is that the DAC industry is afraid that not having a DSD capable product is a death sentence. Seems incredibly silly to me. No software, no science behind it, and speaking of practicality, the guys behind Schiit have come up with a $100 solution.
