I use the Lite DAC-AH with Squeezebox.

I am no expert in HiFi. Comparing the analog out of Squeezebox vs Lite DAC-AH, i think

DAC-AH sounds better.

Someone mentioned in echoloft that Lite DAC-Ah is sold in Singapore for SGD300

I got a friend to bring it back from HK for < HKD600

 

There are other "cheap" DAC around eg Zhaolu and Diyeden

 

You can find some discussion in http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=189604

 

Lite, Zhaolu and Diyeden are all made in China.

how about Monica?

 

read the discussion thread at AC

zhaolu and lite DAC have to order from HK, though getting from china would be even cheaper. Yulong DAC have to order from china. heard there is a malaysia distrubutor for Yulong.

 

i think local dealers are not very interested in distributing due to the low cost of these DAC. even 100% margin how much profit can they make?

 

another reason might be the mindset. local market acceptance for MIC hifi stuffs are still quite low. i think local people are not very keen on MIC product unless it got good review by US and European. though we are geographically closer to china but mindset is much farer than that of US and European. Zhaolu is a very good example in this sense.

Yah lor!  These items so easy to get online and also don't have mass market.  Even if u earn $100 a unit, u have to sell a few tens to earn yourself a month's wage, not to mention the overheads.  And, of coz, it's not uncommon to have some guy PI same thing and happy with a $20 profit. ::)

the Dared MP5 experience show its ok to buy direct fm overseas, especially if its a small and not too heavy piece of equipment.  only thing is no warranty lor... :P

Thks everyone for ur input, greatly appreciated. ;)
