WTD budget chinese dac with xlr out

[Mand]

I thing you may struggle to find a used Dac for your needs that is newest chip.
New from China may takes ages to come and no back up..
I’d recommend getting Keith @ Purite to loan a Soncoz. He is your back up not China and may still have stock.
The latest ess is not bright, fatigue causing at all.
Others have found it and 4499 to sound the same.

I have sent a pm to Keith, about sgd1 and A18. On reflection i think finding used might be a challenge. Still open to offers though

Think the next 12 months will be an exciting times for dacs

Any uk distributors for gustard

No. Only China, or through Audiophonics in France.
Please note the xlr output of some of the Chinese dacs, they are often over 4V
