It's translated from ?
Could be a legit offer, but I would be careful.

I does look to be a nice dac, though. Headphone amp looks to be a simple single opamp design.

The DAC looks to be quote nice. Especially if you can get it for $90.
But the shipping and handling fees seems insane -> $238...

Hard to follow the text. $238 shipping? The whole thing sounds strange.



Exactly! weird text!

$238...that's not outrageous, considering it's coming from China. Well, outrageous, it is, but in comparison to the other chinese amps and audio equipment coming from China, it's about where it should be for being boxed FOUR TIMES.

Check out svdac05 on ebay I just received it and it is pretty good for the price.

Yes, it's a Musiland. it's great in terms of inputs, but however my issue is that it as far as I read it does not upsample or oversample by its own! it receives up to 192KHz, but it needs a oversampling (they sell it separately) to upsample the signal. am I right?

"well, there are not so many people with them in here..."

I know, but it only takes one person who has it to provide information.

With respect to upsampling and oversampling, the seller said on ebay in response to the question about upsampling, that it oversamples and thus doesn't have an upsampling option. I'm not sure the answer was correct, but that's what the seller stated.

Personally, if it sounds good, I don't care if it upsamples, oversamples, undersamples, or cross samples!
