Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

I have it... It's nice.

I like it, it has a smoothe sweet sound, *almost* analog. I would say that it is very musical and not meant for clinical listening, but enjoying the music.

It is only 16bit, but it still sounds great. It is extremely dependent on the transport, IE it is greatly effected by jitter because it is a non-oversampling DAC.

It is a wonderful value, it has toslink, BNC, and coax, and I liked the toslink the best. If you have a good transport, you are going to get a great sound. A good transport or a good USB s/pdif adapter (hagUSB, trends ud-10) will make this thing sing.

If you have the money, though, I would get the paradisea+. Better transformer and PSU, and USB support, not to meantion a tubed output stage. If you do not like tubes, the constantine is the same DAC but wthout the tube.

The dialogue II is a wonderful value, though... it makes a great first DAC.
