I'm down for one. However, I'm concerned there's no real company behind it. The website has nothing that indicates support, service, a location or anything....

Who are they, where are they. What is the warranty?

Agreed.
I'm actually thinking getting a Bifrost + upgrades is probably still a better deal... maybe. Luis, have you tested the Bifrost and can provide any comparos?


Thanks.

Would love to hear your comparisons, Anax, on it vs the uberfrost, especially via coax. I picked up an uberfrost for one of my Sonos Connect units on the cheap and would love to see if there is something better for my other two at a comparable price point.

No I have not. Unfortunately, I don't have a Bifrost.

A good Wolfson DAC + minimum phase filtering has often been one of my favorite sigma-delta DAC combos. I'm curious exactly what sort of filter/OS method they're using. I liked the low-ringing options like 2x or 4x MP filtering on the Audio-GD I have (and the matching MP filter on Gamma2).

Can't help but wonder how this performs against the G2 or Bifrost indeed. Spec wise seems like an awesome bargain though. Seems worth the cost of parts. Not like it matters much but is it single ended or balanced as well?

I'd pick it up instantly but it's not balanced. It makes some difference going into the Yulong A28 but how big of a deal is balanced in the bigger picture?

Thanks for that. Changed the copy to reflect the warranty period of one year. Get in contact with us if there are any problems and we'll take care of it. The company is based in China.

Also, I had a great little screw up since I came into this project late. Product page was built with MSRP at $699 and I took that as accurate when I flipped the switch. Checked with Will today and MSRP is indeed $400 as Luis originally stated. We got to revise our pricing and secure a larger discount than the original $349.99.

So Luis.  Can you compare some notes versus the ODAC?
