How would this compare to a Sanskrit?

FerisalgueFrom the very earliest reviews people think that it seems a tiny bit better than a Sanskrit or a Modi 2, but it's hard to say until we get some more opinions. Of note this is the same DAC that is used in the M9XX DAC/AMP combo.

CokemanMD's wording is borderline shady here. Same family but not the same chip. AKM AK4452 vs AK4490.

kustom3The AKM4452 is the exact same chip that is used in my Onkyo network stereo receiver that I bought last year: TX-8160, which I paid 550$ CAD. It is still on sale at Bestbuy Canada right now.

tessierpgNot criticizing a chip I haven't properly tested, just the kind of misleading way MD sells its product. FWIW I'm still tempted to pair that DAC with my diy O2.
