Apogee, an industry leader in A/D D/A for professional audio has announced a new portable DAC, the link is Here .
sounds interesting!

Their other products are rather expensive. I wonder if this will be under $1000

The fact that it has a headphone-out is interesting. But it only has XLR for analog-outs (no RCA), which limits it's connectivity a bit.

Also, Lan is correct in that their products are usually really expensive.

Look again, it has a 1/8” jack on the back. Uh, and seemingly plenty of punch on the HP-jack. I would like to know about the cost of this thing...

In my experience, certain other converters in Apogee's price range (such as those made by Lucid) sound far better. Still, if this thing turns out to be cheap (and it might, given its size and target market), it could be the new ART D/IO.

I've been reading about the Mini-ME for quite some time. It does look fun.

EDIT: Forget what I just said. The Mini-ME costs $1,295.00 retail and it's only 24/96. You can buy stunning professional 192k converters for that kind of money (though they won't be as portable).
