Has anyone got the new DAC19 yet? Wondering if i should change my styleaudio emerald to that. Currently have them paired with audioengine a5s. Thoughts?

According to slim.a's first post, I think the HDCD one (PMD100) is Mode A and the other Mode B. If I want to swap them around, all I need to do is unscrewing the current one and putting in a new one, right? |

So people still thinking of it as mode a and b, expect to get confused |
Another modules for DAC19MK3 : PMD100 modules can replace the DF1704 modules but has different flavor , and highest input support 24Bit/55KHz, price is USD30. |

I found lot of comparisons between stello,lavry and benchmark but nothing with the audiogd DAC's. I am kind of zeroing in on stello da100 for my next upgrade since I won't be using balanced outputs. But curious to see where the audiogd's stack up against it. Any input will be helpful. Thanks. |

I mean, I know that the product has been discontinued and they're now promoting its replacement, but can't they keep the page for the sake of information? IMO, it's easier for them to just put a big red "DISCONTINUED" on the product's page than deleting everything. |
