2013 Yulong Sabre DA8

The MDAC is transparent and already exceeds the requirements for transparency by some margin - you cannot improve on how it sounds unless you want to use something which distorts the signal in some audible way and find that preferable.
If the product in your link lives up to the published spec it will sound the same as the MDAC.

As you are happy with the MDAC I'd say keep it.

Although one can only salute the designer on achieving such measurements! If you want state of the art (for whatever reason), it's perhaps a cheaper alternative to the new Benchmark DAC2?

Why then every single update to it that John implements brings huge improvement in quality? You say John is a liar and is trying to rob people? ;-)

The truth is that stock MDAC is very good value for money and has great features, but sq wise you can do much better with Sabre chip.

So are you saying JohnW, the designer of the MDAC, is completely wasting his time with all the improvements he is currently working on? Is it not possible in your view to audibly improve the current MDAC? Are you saying that anything he produces which sounds different to the MDAC must be because it distorts?
 
Of course he is, what the hell does a world renown electronics designer know about dacs?:rolleyes:
Cue Serge.
