What would be the best way to buy this from my location (Jakarta, Indonesia)? The nearest distributor in Singapore doesn't carry this item unfortunately.

Oh and a couple questions from a newb...

I see a lot of hype for the Icon HDP. Will I no longer need the uDAC if I were to buy the Icon HDP in the future?

Oh and should I buy a different USB cord for it? If so, a recommendation?

well the way i understand it and i can be wrong so feel free to correct me since i am fairly new to dacs and stuff... but the way i see it they serve two different purposes if you were to own both

you could connect: pc>udac>icon>headphones or home stereo

My fault

. Ok, they are really for two different purposes.
uDAC gets the power from USB cable and is VERY small. It is an excellent companion for laptop.
Icon HDP has headphone amp (also available in uDAC), preamp (uDAC has 1 USB input), and two types of DAC (USB DAC and S/PDIF DAC). It requires a power supply (included) so Icon HDP is for desktop or home use.
Performance wise, we went all-out for it. It is designed for people with top of the line headphones or home audio system.

Bit bummed that they don't have a distributor here in Canada, and how the costs importing it would drive the price waaaay up. Could definitely have used this DAC for my second computer rig... oh well, I'm happy with my main rig for now and my second rig isn't used much anyway (mostly with lesser quality files with lower impedence headphones), so I'll hold out for now and see how it goes, perhaps one of the dealers here will start distributing it. Hopefully the the price won't be going up by then...

They have two Canadian dealers (themacgroup and fulcrumaudio), but I don't think either of them has the uDAC.

Thanks for the heads up! I may just have to pick it up now then, although my wallet's getting very thin now (thanks to purchase of RS-1 and Christmas shopping)...

Anyone know what the shipping cost for the udac at macgroup is? They don't show the shipping costs when added to the cart... is it free?
