This box could have been just the answer to most of such wishes. Could have been... (for me) it fell short on USB capabilities. |

If Ref-3's USB could asynchronously do 24/192 like that Musiland toy, or at least 24/96 - this would be the thing to get. Only... you would need Ref-1 no more - DAC-9mk3 would be enough. I do have shiny silver CA DacMagic which, when placed vertically, uses very little space... want to trade for Ref-1? |
