[Uncle E1]

this is the 2nd revision have tested so far.

I just received mine. It's sounding good, I only had to adjust the volume balance a little.
Are there any more impressions at all?

Subscribe for local brand! Never expecting a local brand can do such a thing, consider that we Malaysia has dang limited of resources. They did provide a few practical tutorial in their webpage. 
 
 
Nevertheless, not much DACs come with isolation at the the price tag of below 1000. My favorite upcoming AMB γ3 has isolation too.

There might be a DAC issue though, I'm not sure yet

do contact Chong / Stoner Acoustics directly on the process.  apparently it is quite straight forward.  by the way, it is Chong himself in the picture doing the upgrade in the store

Looking forward to your impressions!  There are not too many fully balanced dac/amp stacks on the market at this price point.

User update should be available next week but they're shipping me over a new DAC unit as well

I have received a review unit as well, the stack is very good sounding, out from my balanced HD700 and HD600.

EGD + EGA + HD600 = Sweet.
This is just awesome sounding, the sound separation is really amazing. I could hear more details than I could previously hear in some of my favourite songs and for once I thought I were hallucinating. hehe. I am tingling with excitement.

 and thumbs up for Stoner Acoustics' Chong.

Thanks for the review, mrinspire.  
 
Better than the Yulong DA8.  Wow.  That is surprising considering the Yulong has the better ESS chip, measures better, and powers its circuits from AC instead of USB.  I will have to listen to the EGD now.
 
Thanks again.
