Still ain't no sure right now, may around $700-900

Probably the first DAC with two AK4497EQ chips.

Fantastic!
The headamp stage is all discretes!
 
Anyone tried this yet and if the headamp is equivalent to or better than the H-10?

Not quite sure but seems they are using the XMOS U8 chip, I wonder why they didn't go for the XU208 like in the Singxer f-1/SU-1....

Another thread posted on that forum:

Seems to say it's now officially listed and retail price is 4,580 RMB, being about $685. I think this is the listing on TaoBao:

I noticed a headphone socket with balanced output on the front panel.  Is it true this DAC-Amp supports balanced head-amp output too?

I think it has dual AK4497EQ dac and balanced amp output.

Any mention of a remote being included with the unit?

 

[genclaymore]

I wonder how it will sound when it is released. I do like it's both SE and balanced.Now I'm interested in an another Gustard unit. But I betting it probably gonna cost quite a lot of money, I hope it won't be too much.

Looks freaking lovely.

To my understanding, a remote is included with the DAC and you can control the volume (with the built-in arrays of relays!)

Of course remote included. I forgot to mention
