$100k? Damn. Crazy. I want implying it was over priced, just expensive for me. Plus, my ears probably wouldn't hear much difference. Still would love to hear it.
The price is actually pretty reasonable if you look at it this way - there is only one other DAC manufacturer that uses its own FPGA circuit for its DACs, rather than stuffing stock ICs into fancy boxes, and the stuff that other manufacturer makes has a price tag of over $100K.
Do you mind to reveal the other company?
Dave seems to be very well received, but at $13k, way out of my budget. I'd love to hear it and I am extremely curious as to how it sounds. I can't imagine it would be a tremendous improvement, but likely I'll never know.

How about Dave?
I had a chance to demo Chord DAVE and the Hugo TT back to back recently with my LCD-X, I personally have Mojo and Hugo. I was very very impressed by the TT, I found it a bigger jump in sound quality from the Hugo to the TT than the Mojo to Hugo (I prefer the Hugo to Mojo but the Mojo is very close). DAVE however is another whole level better than the TT, it was simply sublime and now all I can think of is how I can justify £8k on a DAC, but would be very also happy with the TT.
In MUNICH's show CHORD display this Nice case for the Mojo.
is that hard case?
Is there any price or details on availability of this case?
