Guys don't worry about the price for now. This normally is the way forward for any company.
They Design state of the art products (which will cost a lot) but it doing so, they learn new ways of implementing new design techniques, new technology.
Not everyone will be able to afford this cutting edge tech but the biggest bonus for all of us consumers is that it normally gives the designers ways to trickle down this tech into the next products.
 
We all might not be able to buy Dave but down the track we could get Steve (or what ever name the next one is) with very similar performance but at more affordable prices. 
 
eg. B&W do it with there speakers and trickle down the new innovations from there top line into the more affordable speakers too.
 
Hats off to Chord for what looks like great leaps in advancement in a state of the art Dac instead of just resting on there current products.
 
I just brought a 2Qute (first ever Chord product) and I am loving it. Hopefully in a few years when I may look to upgrade it, there will be another Chord product based on Dave's tech/performance but in my price range to consider.

I was not happy with the price of the DAVE, but at the same time, my Hi-fi was at the dealer when it was announced.
 
My hi fi is back and the Hugo is playing on it. Enjoying music a lot, and waiting for the production model of DAVE so hear it.
 
Till then, enjoying music !

Rob, does the Dave have crossfeed (as in the Hugo)?

Would be great if Chord Electronics are at CanJam London with DAVE along with HUGO and HUGO TT connected to some top tier headphones including HD800's, LCD3's, HiFiMan HE6 and HE1000 etc. for an all out comparison.

Maybe not the right thread but Canada would like some love. Toronto has over 5-6 mill in the greater area, I'm sure lots of head fi folks. Someone should consider a jam in the great white north:smiley:

Rob, may be it is not the time yet to tell details of Dave... but I'm too curious.
I know that Dave has more elements in the discrete DAC section than Hugo. How does this affect the sound quality and why?
