There will be a version 2 (Minimax) this summer also...

Sabre ES9018
Italian M2Tech A Sync technology
Separate power transformers for digital and analog
High frequency relays/resistor input selection
improved PSU
improved tube output stage
improved 24/96 and 24/192KHz playing
volume pot removed
socketed opamps
tube/ss output selection
What's good about the Audiolab MDAC? Rough cost too? :¬)

I'm tempted to buy a Fiio E7 and use that for a couple of months while these new DACs arrive.
