Hello, pictureguy,
i haven't decided yet, still weighing the options. But i think that i do have two favorites, the Emotiva XDA-1 as a bargain buy (now selling for only 199$ new) and the Audiolab M-DAC Mk II as probably the last DAC i would buy in my whole life. Unfortunately, my sister, who will spend her summer holiday in Canada, refuses to carry these nice 4.5kg of Emotiva through her trip :((( and a quick search for the shipping costs to Germany yielded something around 200$. So, i am afraid that i will have to wait for an offer of an exhibition piece of the M-DAC for let me say 400€ or so unless you guys know a cheaper shipping service?!
With best regards
Hazel
PS.: For those of you knowing some cheaper shipping alternatives, the XDA-1 would measure 21.75" x 5.75" x 18" at 15.8 lbs boxed.
