Looks interesting.

Hi Geoff, I have read and received some very positive comments about both the X22 Pro and the X26. The minor flaws in the X22 Pro all seem to have been fully addressed in the X26. I have not read a bad word about the chip. Going to take the plunge so will let you know. M

Yup it's a nice dac. Not cheap but not silly money either, although out of my pay grade alas

Have upgraded a few of these currently have the LKS version of the dual mono Sabre 38's in currently for some upgrade work as well.

Very solid circuit board, interesting power supply network, discrete i/v stage powerful sound respectable casework plus I2S input for those who are interested in that digital signal transfer.

For the money not bad at all
