I am considering these 2- as DACs and preamps for my hi-fi, with AVR passing through.
The 28 with $40 options (TCXO for USB-32 and ES9018) works out about the same price cos shipping to South Africa from China is way way cheaper than from USA.
SQ? Which would you choose?
I am looking for a smooth, even and open sound, without any "tizziness" in the tops which I have read ca be a ES9018 problem- though I imagine Kingwa's implementation is better than that.
