Or rather other R2R dacs. It seems to have NOS mode but does it really? As far as I know, Denafrips Ares II is not truly NOS for example.

I got an answer back from Hifiman on this.

"NOS: The input sample rate for non-oversampling is whatever it is (for example, 96khz-24bit is input and 96KHz-24bit is input to DAC); Only Analog Filtering; The pulse response does not ring."

I wonder if I can use an hdmi to usb c cable from my tv arc to the dac?

What would that be good for if everything gets resampled by the TV to 48khz?

It would be good for what I would like to use it for

Of course. I got a decent deal on Yulong Da-art Aurora and went with it. It has similar specs, but a delta sigma dac. It has Class A amp / Pre-amp and fit my use case better.

Yes that one. As far as I know Aquilla 2 is Class AB and don't have RCA Line in. I got Aurora for like 416 I think. Well still waiting for it to get shipped.

I plan to get by end of the month. I heard it at CanJam I loved its unique bass quality and ease of use. Are you noticing in difference in how it renders bass compared to other amps?

Sorry i don't have a lot to compare with...
Bass was not what strikes me first but they have a natural tonality with nice weight and decay... Wish they have a little more punch and slam if i compare with my precious dac/amp Aune X1s GT...
Will see how it goes after more hours
Let us know how it feels by the end of the month

Initial listening is beyond expectations. Easy of use works for me, two buttons, no settings, delightful compared to complex RME ADI-2. The EF400 sounds less analytical, or more tube-like sound compared to the RME. I dislike the input possibilities: it is only USB in. I miss optical and coax! Anyone knows a nice streamer with USB out and Roon compatible?
