Alright.. I don't read or write Chinese, but my dad can and I spent a good hour surfing up iwdiy.com's forum for DAC38 vs. DAC68 vs. DAC60 impressions.
The founder of iwdiy, supposedly a very respected person (a Jude-like person), posted that the DAC38 was way better than Theta DSP Basic III.
Also, in another thread, the same person posted that :
1.) A Preamp + DAC68 would be the best choice in a balanced system. It SUCKS for unbalanced.
2.) The DAC38 would be the best choice in an unbalanced system (regardless)
3.) The DAC60 the warm brother of the DAC38, both use PCM1704
4.) The DAC38 is the best overall, the preamp function in the DAC68 is not good enough.
That's about all I got. There were lots of other talk regarding the DAC38 + CD10. This should be good enough for me.. it's basically a straight swap with the VDA-1 + VAC-1 if I choose to do it, which I will, once I move back to my University house.
I'll lurk around on those forums a bit more later..
