October 12, 201015 yr comment_394951 Yeah, probably should have ordered a couple of more. Christmas is right around the corner after all. Report
October 13, 201015 yr comment_395099 Bummer. You can't have everything at this price point, but it looks like USB is limited to 16/48. Don't understand why companies release 24/192 DACs, then implement a system that limits the most likely input to supply over 24/96. Report
October 13, 201015 yr comment_395102 Because it's easy to toss a 16/48 chip into a design, the higher resolution usb inputs are more costly in time, money, development, and sometimes licensing fees. Report
October 13, 201015 yr comment_395106 "Reserve your XDA-1(s) for the next available shipment! Emotiva will contact you about order details before your order ships (around November 30, 2010)" Whatever that means. Report

Don't understand why companies release 24/192 DACs, then implement a system that limits the most likely input to supply over 24/96. im going to be pissed if people say "No 24/192 support??" when I release the 24/96 async USB DAC Report

I wouldn't personally get a DAC without async USB at this point, regardless of the USB data rate supported. Report
October 13, 201015 yr comment_395136 I wouldn't personally get a DAC without async USB at this point, regardless of the USB data rate supported. well, I have coax out on my computer, carries 24/96. having said that I understand a lot of folks don't have that option. Report

October 14, 201015 yr comment_395174 I wouldn't personally get a DAC without async USB at this point, regardless of the USB data rate supported. Other than for stuff that is cheap I don't think I'd bother with a delta-sigma dac other than the Sabre (preferably 32) at this point. Report
October 14, 201015 yr comment_395331 I ordered two by accident. Not to worry. It doesn't look like they'll be shipping out any anytime soon. Looking back through online chatter, the dates have slipped time and time again. You have to wonder at this price goal if it's really do-able. And if it is, if the quality will be all they say it is. A good $300 DAC with these features would sell like hotcakes. IF it ever comes out, I'll wait for the FOTM to fade and some real reviews to come to surface. It's 2010. Where's all the jetpacks they promised us back in the 60's? Report

October 14, 201015 yr comment_395347 This thing is gonna be the new DACMagic. Who needs reviews when we have this here thread? Report
October 14, 201015 yr comment_395351 They'll be a NEW DACMagic before these guys can be the new DACMAgic. Report
October 14, 201015 yr comment_395354 They'll be a NEW DACMagic before these guys can be the new DACMAgic. You're quite the optimist, I see. Report
October 14, 201015 yr comment_395371 If this does come out at the $300 mark and performs at all well, it would kill of the DACMAgic. Unless their marketing department is asleep at the wheel, I bet there's either a new offering and/or a price drop on the current model. The DACMagic has been out a couple of years now. Given how the HD-800 caused a rash of new headphone offerings, the DAC market may go the same way. Win/Win. Better cheaper DACS. Report
October 16, 201015 yr comment_395763 I wouldn't personally get a DAC without async USB at this point, regardless of the USB data rate supported. Snobs!! Report
October 16, 201015 yr comment_395765 I put in a preorder also. For the price it should make a great 2nd DAC Report
