I'm unsure on that point. I saw that on another post on here and was curious about it. I haven't read any impressions of its sound. TEAC does have this other line they sell in the US called Esoteric but I think those are much pricier. http://esoteric.teac.com/dacs/

You'll be happy with either :¬)

I did have a quick question for you, Yoga, as you've had experience with both DACs. What would you say are the biggest differences in sound between these two?
