It does better when asked to attenuate smaller amounts, compared to running it on the really low settings. So it depends on your setup and what volume range you'd be running it.

Hello, 
 
Has anyone tried to upgrade AOP on his DA8. A friend of mine reported it lifted the global sound with discrete op amps from 14/20 to 18/20 ?
Any other experience ?
 
Cheers

The full D200 product page is up on the Yulong site.  Cannot see it for sale anywhere yet though:

What happened to A8 & D8?

Indeed ($700 shipped + import duty.)
 
 
Who's gonna click buy and 'take one for the team', then?

The pair should be available as well, just D8 is $2199.
Go figure as a pair.

Wow that's not cheap. I read somewhere the A8 will be around 3k...

Lets see then, somebody will likely pair them sooner or later.

Is it a fully balanced design?

@project86 are you planning to make a review of the d200? I've looked around on head-fi and I've only seen two threads with some impressions

 

[project86]

Yes, I just received a review unit the other day. Seems pretty nice so far - almost like a "DA8 lite". Most of the functionality is there, and a good portion of the SQ as well.... but this is all very preliminary. 

 

[owendace]

Awesome! I'm looking forward to this review!

Any chance you may have a view on a MacMini -> DA8 -> HDVA600 -> HD800 chain (connected balanced)? I listen to everything - old rock to new opera. I occasionally switch to my HD650S. A remote on the DA8 might have been nice..    Any other DACs you would personally consider in the sub 3500$ range? I'm also looking at the W4S DAC-2se, Anedio D2, and the Audio-gd M7. Appreciate you experience...
