In Reply to: List of modern 'low-cost', but promising DACs with XLR-outputs - Rev. 2 posted by Hazel on May 6, 2012 at 09:30:08:
My DM+ arrived today and is already hooked up.
A little rough for maybe 15 or 20 minutes as the caps formed. I expect further improvements for the next 50 hours. But, right now, it is fine. I'm using the balanced outs w/Mogami Cables.
Very complete kit out of the box. It has a universal power supply and a series of adaptor plugs for near-worldwide use. The PAIR of instruction manuals come in a total of 8 languages. It also has some rubber feet to attach or use the provided 'shoe' for vertical mounting. I'll build a better base.
The only bit of cheapness is the vol knob, which doesn't belong. If I can get it off, I'll turn one out of wood....something exotic like Bubinga.
Hazel, with all due respect to your thoroughness, I'd jump in. By the time you get thru compiling what is a pretty exhaustive list, the MkII rev of everything will be out and you'll have to start over! With rare exception, I think you'd be satisfied with nearly any DAC on your current list.
Too much is never enough
