Any point in bypassing any of the capacitors in the Anedio D2 with high quality film caps?? I'd be looking to increase the smoothness and/or warmth of the rear RCA outputs

Try messaging viper2001.

No reply as of yet from viper2001; does anyone else know any info on bypassing caps in the Anedio D2 with film caps??

  I have tried the built-in USB using the Vaunix hub (since it is, apparently, bus-powered) and the results are distinctly better than using S/PDIF with either of my converters. Very unexpected. The "thin" sound has gone. Totally the opposite of the Calyx, which also uses the XMOS chip. That sounded completely flat with the USB input. It now sounds more like the Calyx did when I used the Audiophilleo and Vaunix hub -- "lighter" than the Master 7.

With optical I believe I had to raise the volume at a higher level, but after I connected the usb and thought I had the volume at low level then to find out it was blasting.  Also, the treble doesn't sound thick and bright, it sounds tamed.  With the optical connection, the treble sounded disconnected from the upper mids, not much transition.  Then again, this is another day, and yesterday my ears could have been treble sensivite, but it was definately brighter than Hugo.  
 
Actually, it's still the same as yesterday, more treble forward than I like, must have been some placebo when I first heard it.

The Anedio D2 is now available on sale for $890 because Anedio is running a holiday sale for 1 month.

Holy smokes! That's an unbelievably good buy!!! As competitive as it is at $1500, $890 is a steal.

890$ is freaking crazy. Shame they don't send overseas anymore.

I'm selling my D2 for $800 and can ship worldwide if anyone is interested: http://www.head-fi.org/t/740801/anedio-d2-dac

Got the D2 set up with my V281 this morning and have been listening pretty much all day. What a DAC!

Nice -- excellent combo there.

Anyone know if there is any plan to support DSD whether with this dac or a new model?

I recently shot an email to Anedio about future plans, so I'll post here if I get any info. I do recall they were planning for an eventual D3 version, which they realized would have to support DSD. But I don't know where it stands. They were really focusing most on their speaker amp, to replace the somewhat short lived A1. If it comes to fruition it will be a beast, fully discrete with some unique design aspects.
