Denon comes across as really confident considering how their product is priced higher than the Onkyo DAC HA200 which cost less and has the ability to support 24/96 using its free onkyo app that is activated when it is connected to it.
 
More so it has optical in and can use as a dap and cost less than denon DA-10. 
 
Denon does not have optical and it is limited to 24/48 and can act as an amp. It seems like they are so confident about their tuning that they believe it should not matter as they will win due to how good they tuned it.
 
Hope it is right.

I text'd Mike aka Hifiguy528 to see if he's getting one anytime soon, it took him months to get a DA300USB last time.

this blogger - dr thomabechi - a cognitive scientist and music freak - writes today about the denon da-10. he says it is wonderful and will gladly use this instead of the hugo when on the go while at the cafe or on a business trip and let the hugo do the work via itunes at home. he randomly listened to gunsnroses/mozart/led zeppelin/beethoven and are equally pleased - using the da-10 in combination with his iphone6+ & shure se846. he further thumbs up using the smart attached case that fits the iphone and da-10 as a unit - which of course also lets you control the screen of your phone behind the transparent surface. he ends the short review by saying that the very good denon da-10 improves extraordinarily on your music.

very good news, now where can i buy it from that ships to israel besides ebay, as on ebay its more expensive

 

[hi-hi-fi]

i suggest that you have a look at the japanese version of amazon - they sell it as of now. i have purchased plenty times through them and never experienced any hassle - usually takes 5 days to norway. or maybe you just have to wait until it hits the stores in your neighborhood

its in japanese and google translate sucks in doing a good translation

 

[hi-hi-fi]

the site is in english as well. however - i feel the details of this conversation concerning availability and ordering the da-10 is heading a wrong direction and disrupts this thread so i friendly suggest that you research a little bit more on your own. it is not likely that you will find the da-10 to become substantially more expensive when ordered through denon's distributor in israel - the contact details of which i provided above - than ordering from a foreign country . thank you.

 

[HiFiGuy528]

I've reached out to my contact at Denon.  Hope to get my paws on it soon.  No holding my breath though...

 

[Pippin76]

I enquired today at Denon's Danish dealer and they expect to have it om the shelves middle to late nov.

 

[Sound Eq]

i ordered it today so i will report back, i am gonna try to see how it works with my iPod and audeze lcd2

so from the specs u think it won't drive the audeze well enough, dam that is not what i was hopping for when i placed my order, so i guess now i need to couple it with an amp, any good recommendations for a portable amp 

 

[capitanharlock]

I am not saying this, it depends on your listening habits.
Just saying it's not very powerful and seeing that the Audeze is rating at: > 130dB with 15W   maybe you would need something more "beefy"...
