What? Better the uDac?
This seems like a sneaky way to up the price to me. They discontinue the $99 udac model and replace it with a udac2 model for 30 dollars more with minimal changes? Feel free to correct me if im wrong.
The changes are not minimal. See my uDAC-2 First Impressions thread.
How do they compare to ibasso or fiio products? or anyother amp/dac at that range
In my uDAC-2 impressions thread I said it was important to read my original uDAC impressions, and then to look at what I thought about the improvements in the uDAC-2 in the new thread. And, whatever I said about the original uDAC vs iBasso or others, the uDAC-2 builds on and does better in every way.
Look in the dedicated source forum for my thread on the original and version 2. I'm on my iPhone on vacation and can't easily link you to them right now. Sorry.
You didnt do any comparison to other amps/dac.
Yes I did, and I have more I still need to do as soon as I'm back from vacation. I did bring both uDAC and DACport on my trip, but have had little time to listen.
I'll add this brief comment for now - in comparing uDAC-2 to the DACport with my LCD-2 headphones, the uDac-2 drives these phones better. With most of my IEM the uDAC-2 is almost as good as the DACport, but with my Westone ES5 the uDAC-2 has better synergy so far. Vs the Nuforce HDP, the HDP is more detailed, spacious and powerful than either uDAC version or the DACport. My impressions are not final, and will be updated.
