The more I read into your response, the more I want to hold off on the DAC 200. It's still an interesting DAC. I reached out to T+A and they wrote me back indicating the DAC200 was just introduced last year and there is no current plan to change the chipset. I am curious about the 1-bit DSD conversion you mention. I'll do some more research into it and also JRiver. I might look into the PSD 3100HV. It's funny you mentioned ASR, I did dabble into some of their DAC testing that made me get one of the Topping and couple of the SMSL DACs. They are decent, nothing that I get giddy about.
I am driving a pair of Magico A3's and a pair of Burmester B1 with the T+A. You can check out the system under rman9.. Honestly, I can say, this is the best integrated I have ever heard.. I listen to it more than the Luxman C900/M10X separates combo now.. It just grabs you, and folks tell me that it gets even better with break-in. So I am looking forward to that.. The break-in is such a hard concept for me to wrap my head around, I can't say I understand the engineering reason for it.
