Why don't we wait until a headfier recieves the dac, he/she can open it up and take a photo...

However if a reputable 500+ poster would confirm the initial positive sentiments i could change my mind. The Yulong looks very promising and i would like to applaud digitalmind for suggesting taking orders from interested buyers here. I would like to say that I am interested in this DAC and that I have no qualms putting money on your bank account before you order the DACs. I live in norway so shipping charges would probably be about the same as netherlands (maybe a tad more expensive.) |

Originally Posted by lesserpanda I see there are 2 choices of chips for Crystal DAC. One is CS4397KSZ and the other one is CS43122 Any comment on both of the chips? Which is the strength and weakness of each? |

I had a TC-7something phono preamp once and it wasn't much. That doesn't mean that the Beresford isn't any good though, but compared to the Yu Long it looks very simple and cheap. Another thing to keep in mind is that in China this Yu Long is very expensive because of the low monthly wages. This thing would cost roughly a monthly salary if it were made and sold in Europe or America. That would be great! I'm not sure if the Yu Long is as common as the Zhaolu or other dacs out there though, and I don't know if you'll find it in a store. If you do though, be sure to write some impressions. Don't know yet -- none of us has heard it yet. I wasn't impressed by the Zhaolu though... |
