Default DACs

OK - get the point - it's nothing special. But do you think it'd do the
job? I like the idea of the selectable I/O, and when all's said and done
it just converts digital to analogue for 100UKP. Is it fundamentally
wrong in any way?

I have one, its fine, only SP/DIF and TosLink in though, no USB or
Firewire. headphone output is usefull as well. the DAC is a PCM1716E.

the sound it makes is as good as most CDP's you will buy now (ie, it
sounds the same).

I would get a better power supply for it though, not for any audiophile
reasons, just I can hear the switcher whistle, and it also causes some
breakthrough in the output. A better 12v switcher fixes both problems.
