Product Description

Even though you like your music at the highest possible quality, you’ve strayed away from reference quality DACs due to their daunting price and overly neutral approach. Arriving at an alarmingly reasonable price point and featuring a musicality absent in most of its peers, the Yulong Sabre D18 DAC lets you enjoy perfectly processed audio without draining your wallet of funds or your music of life Read More

Was thinking about going with this, until I scored a sweet deal on a V200 and V800 for $1000 ;)

HageneTo my ears, the emotiva stealth dc-1 sounds about $400 cheaper than the yulong d18. The money graph confirms my ear test. :P

There is really no reason to buy a DAC without a USB in this day and age

eardogActually, there is no reason to buy a high-end DAC without a USB to SPDIF processor in this day and age. So a DAC without USB is OK as long as it has coax input. Then go get yourself an Audiophilleo, Off-Ramp or HiFace.

JackulaYulong's DA8 has a proprietary USB interface and DSD capability, but it lists for $1,200. There is a less expensive, stripped down version of the DA8, which I probably shouldn't mention here, that uses the XMOS USB interface that is a common solution for newer DACs.

A "reference" DAC that isn't purely neutral? What does the word even mean, then?

No USB input is a deal breaker for me. Good DAC though.
