Anyone has any balance xlr cable to recommend?

I am in the market for a pair too.

BTW, Alvin of Vinshine told me he had stroke a deal with the manufacturer so he can provide a better price than that of ebay. You can contact him directly if you want to 'negotiate'.

Yep incl. shipping to Europe (DHL 1-week) it`s over $100 cheaper than the one offered in eBay. The china-man in eBay estimates a shipping time at least a month to EU

He had managed to adjust his pricing very quickly. Very nice price indeed.

Can negotiate? Ok i keep that in mind. I dun think he can go lower then his launch price at around US$630 but i will try.

Did you not see my post and link on previous page? No negotiation necessary I think, you can purchase it for US $598

Apologies, 598USD does not include shipping. Sorry for my poor English.

Still $1 cheaper then bimby at $599. I still hoping theres an option to convert one or two of the inputs to i2S.

Just like audio-gd range of dac with several options to convert.

Even 1 BNC input would make me happy.

My dealer just told me cannot be converted to i2S from his supplier. Look like the USB is the dominant interface which provide the highest resolutions including DSD. Well, i have the not so uber USB chain ready for it.
