Are you going into a DC amplifier directly? If not, why is this an issue?
What is it about the USB that you don't like?

It sounds ok but the Amanero and XMos on other dacs sound better. To me, it's slightly coloured. I am also bothered by the errors that crop up using the Cpl even though it is said to be 'unimportant'.
For a pro product, I also expect BNC 75 socktes to be so and not BNC 50 as fitted.
You have valid points.
What I like about my Audiogd Master7 is that Kingwa decided to power the Amanero internally with heavily regulated and filtered power and disconnect the +5v coming in from the computer. This imo really takes the crap out of the signal from dirty computer power. Since the Amanero outputs I2S there is really no need to use any converter to get IS2 to the Dac. This reduces the amount of junk/gadgets in the audio chain. Just a signal from the source which is converted to I2S using clean power with jitter measuring Phase Jitter 0.04~2.41ps (10Hz~1MHz), Total Phase Jitter (RMS) 2.42ps ...if you can believe the measurements.
The LKS Dual Sabre Dac I had did not have internally powered Amamero and you can tell with a bit of high frequency glare. I told LKS about this and they built an internally powered module which users could connect DIY. They might incorporate it into future products. Still the LKS was not all it could/should have been considering it had all the best components inside.

For the relatively high China price, the LKS uses medium quality LT1963 regulators only. If you want a real bargain, try out the AK4995 usb dac I bought for nothing.
can you relay more info on this? thanks.
Nice
But my stable is full of Dacs at the moment, trying to get rid of a Audiogd Reference 7 right now. I do like the AKM chip, but have yet to find a Dac that uses it well. Maybe sometime down the road I'll make that purchase.
Thanks for the heads up.....
