I really want this, unfortunately it's only available in USA. Sucks, why did I have to see this review?

Anedio dac and amp are reviewed by Positive Feedback.

Hi Project86 Sir:
Please advice that what is your opinion regarding Anedio D-1 and EE Minimax DAC, which one sounds better? Thanks!
Moving on to usage: one nice feature of the D1 is that the volume control applies to both the headphone amp section and the RCA outputs. So this DAC can be connected directly to a power amp, negating the need for a separate preamp. Anedio feels that eliminating a separate preamp in the signal chain can be a very significant method for improving transparency in a playback system. It can also save money for someone assembling a system from scratch. This option is similarly offered on the Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 but not the cheaper DAC1.

Sorry, I have yet to encounter the EE Minimax. I have read this review though:
http://www.stereomojo.com/Eastern%20Electric%20MiniMax%20DAC%20Review/EasternElectricMiniMaxDACReview.htm
Although I don't particularly agree with some of their comments about cables and such, much of what they are describing also applies to the Anedio D1. My favorite part is when the third reviewer says:
At this point, you may be asking, "So James, are you saying you like the $750 EE MiniMax DAC better than the PS Audio $3,000 Perfect Wave?"
But then never really answers the question. Presumably the answer is yes but he doesn't want to admit it.

Why not?. In the front there is an up and down buttons. Don't they control volume out?.

Project86, if you test the EE Minimax please compare it to the Yulong D100 i'm very curious about the result.
Just a quick update: Anedio advises me that they are working on being able to sell to other countries besides the USA. They are working with an independant test lab to achieve the proper certifications required for other countries, and hope to be finished within a few months. This is a very costly process for a small company, but it is certainly the right thing to do. So anyone reading this but feeling left out because you don't live in the US: be patient.
