Can you tell us briefly what the reviewer did not like in the DAC8? Almost all of us did not read the review.
I have had the DAC8 side by side with the ARC CD8, and kept the CD8 in my system - the CD8 type of sound is, IMHO, more adequate to my all ARC system.
But what I listened from the DAC8 using some HiRez files played using JRivers media player made me dream about a DAC8 with tubes.
