you meant DDC right? Tanly didn't respond to my last inquiry and now I see that it's on aliexpress for $570. It used to be priced the same as the German made PUC2, which sounded so good that my stereo has been dark since the day I returned it to it's owner (and I think that uses neither XMOS or Amanerro). The good news is that I got a text from DHL that my X20U should arrive today, and that gives me the opportunity to get to know the U12's I2S output which I only heard once before. I'll be moving in a couple weeks so I'd rather reacclimate to what I have under different accoustics so I can best quantify my next DDC upgrade. The new room might call for a change of speakers! Hopefully a headfi approved DDC will come to market with the usb port on the back and a sample rate display on the front. Pumping the brakes!
No, I meant exactly DAC, although I should have said "next DDC for my next DAC"...
As I said the USB interface quality is very relevant to final audio quality so I will probably continue to have a DDC before my current/future best DAC, if not all DACs I use.
I will be waiting for your impressions of the new X20, congratulations for your purchase!
