In Reply to: RE: Best DAC for under $ 8,000 posted by johns dad on November 12, 2015 at 12:32:38
The Audio-GD Master 7 $2400
This uses 8 1704UK R2R chips. It also can be set for Non over sampling.
Very strong emotional connection to music played thru this dac
Handles up to 24/192. Will not do DSD. Has multiple inputs. USB, SPDIF, optical, I2S, AES/IBU. I have heard all the dacs listed hear and have owned the Metrum Hex, Audio-Note IIB dac and Mytek Stereo 192. The Master 7 is the best of them all

Who sells or imports the Audio-Gd?
OK, perhaps not $8,000, but at least $5,000.
My Master 11 is a bit to large to be successful as a DAC/Pre-amp/Headphone Amp when compared to others on the market so King Wa have to make it smaller for the commercial market which would add cost PLUS reduce the attention paid to power supply, as that's about half the volume of the unit.
Buying direct from King Wa in China today is not unlike dealing directly with Kondo in Japan back before Peter Q got 'involved' in the company. =:-0

It is a Chinese product that you buy direct from them
Got mine in 2 weeks from China
Don't let the fact that it is Chinese dissuade you from checking it out
Really well made
