Hi Kevin, you have listened to the 1541. You probably seen the photos for the 1321 which omits a headphone stage, balanced outputs, an internal power transformer, and of course has a lower performance DAC section. I understand you haven't heard it but how do think (speculate) the 1321 would fair against other DACs in the ~$700 range? I'm looking for an upgrade from the humble MF V-DAC MK1.
