Nice! I couldn't find used one so I bought from Giraffe Audio. A little more than some, but on other websites there was ambiguity as to whether it had the AK4490 or the AK4493. Giraffe stated clearly that the ones they had in stock were the AK4493.
It's a complete bargain for the quality.

Mine was supposed to be delivered between 08:00 and 18:00 today.
The tracking shows it is still in Paris, so I doubt it will be here today.

I've heard it, but it didn't stir me. No different from Qobuz or Tidal high res output, even through Martin's Hi-Fi's £250k system.

I've owned a few and heard some more.
From an unbranded one off ebay, I have own a dragonfly, Cyrus 8 dac, Tag 20, Audiolabs M dac. I borrowed a few too.
IMO the Topping is better than those but be aware the remote is rubbish.

The dac in thePathos ClassicRemix HiDAC is very nice.. in fact the whole package is very good. i believe they do stand alone dac too so might be worth a reccy

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I don’t need to. It’s not leaving the country I bought it from.
