Balanced analogue out on XLRs as well as single-ended on RCAs. USB input. 24-bit/192 kHz upsampling. Production after Spring Festival/Chinese New Year (which I'm guessing means some time in February 2009). (* Which could be totally wrong for all I know. But it was fun running through the machine translations!)

No problem mrfloopy, I think you got it right for most of them. More detailed info for the pick up system can be obtained by clicking the link below:

The shell used for the dac and cdp is, for sure, same as MK4's.

The sample machine for both dac and cdp will be coming out at end of next month (actually, to achieve the best they can do, quite a few senior audiphiles in China had been invited to have a listen on the imcomplete machine at Yang's home and that would help tonality).

No business during the Chinese spring festival, that's the time for fireworks

. Few days after the festival they will be released, say,in the early Feb. Yang is so confident for his first digital source and hope that won't disappoint us.

I thought there would be some analog outputs unless they changed it to a pure transport.

The DAC will have the analog outs. The transport is purely digital, so will only have BNC, coax, and toslink out.

I intend to replace my Zero DAC (w/ OPA-Earth) very soon for a self powered USB DAC.

Do we have any idea if LD intends to manufacture a self powered USB DAC that can take 24bit/96kHz source material via USB?
I was thinking to purchase the DacMagic but it is limited to 16bit via USB.
When is this DAC hitting the market?

Anybody have an update on when this will be available?

How cool would that be stacked under one of their amps using that same chassis?

I still don´t see the pluses of a dedicated transport. I will stick with my computer and x-fi.

Good call, I didnt notice that, they made a transport and no dac to match?

 

[apatN]

It's why it is called a transport.

As far as I know, they're also working on a DAC. Little Tube Maybe that's taking a little longer.

 

[electropop]

There was a rumor that a matching dac will be coming out as well..

Edit: like he said

That isn't a just a free talk. The matching machine called dac_1 is on the way either which will have usb outlet to pcs. More, the dac will have both unbalanced and balanced outputs.

 

[apatN]

Why would they make a DAC that only has USB input meaning it is not compatible with their transport.
