The DA2i / DA2 V3 is the best sounding digital source I have heard in my system - full stop.  I am not one of those audiophiles that replace equipment every few months, and I have not heard of other DAC offerings at this price point within my system.   I have heard  EMM Labs as well as other similarly priced DACs many times at audio shows over the years, and had always lusted over owning a more recent EMM Labs DAC." - Lou W
