Hey!! I bought mine a couple years back from the same seller. He has the best price. Nice job. I can vouch for this seller. You'll get your DAC in one piece!
Also. I'm hearing some interesting comments about the irDAC 2 where the ESS 9018 chip is makes the DAC staging less warm sounding than the original?
If this true. Grab the irdac 1 because the warmer the DAC and less thin the better the pairing for what you wanna get (HD 800 and Burson.
Lol now I'm curious to hear the irDAC 2.
But hey, 445$ for irDAC 1 !!!! That's an amazing deal. I paid more then. 150$ more. Lol.
Think maybe you should jump on this. Also, the direct iPod a-synchronous USB link is really great. Put all your files in WAV on any IOS device that you have and enjoy the some awesome convienance of scrolling through your library without using a computer. You can buy some USB extension cables if you sit far away from your rig.
