SALE PENDING!This Audio-gd Reference 7.1 DAC is a wonderful sounding $1900 unit that must be seen and heard to be really appreciated. I purchased directly this unit directly from the manufacturer in Hong Kong. This DAC is capable of being set by the user to either NOS, 2x, 4x or 8x oversampling. Kingwa uses four of the very highly regarded Texas Instruments, R-2R ladder PCM1704U-K chips per channel! For a very accurate review of this DAC please read John H. Darko's review here: http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2011/04/audio-gd-reference-71-dac-8-x-pcm1704uk/ Look at the two photos of the Audio-gd Reference 7.1's insides and you'll see how well built this unit really is. As you can see Kingwa believes the power supply is as important, if not more important than his choice of using the Texas Instruments PCM1704U-K chips. If this exact same DAC was made by Levinson, Krell, McIntosh etc. this would easily be a $5000+ DAC! I believe my asking price of $1000 is very fair for a DAC of this quality, but make me an offer is you wish.
