Has anyone looked into this? It seems like a pretty cool DAC with support for streaming services.
According to the Pioneer rep it supposedly has the same DAC circuit as their uber-expensive TAD products and has an asynch USB 192/32 interface, optical, and coaxial.
As far as I can tell the only thing missing is balanced outputs.
I am curious to hear if anyone has used this and to look at how products stack up when they are built by a company that has money and vast R&D resources vs small independent outfits (audio-gd, fiio, nuforce, etc).
Thanks,
Pete
