Nice write-up. I, too, am trying to settle on a DAC and have pretty much decided on another Chinese (gag) product (sorry Schiit - no DSD), the Shanling M3s DAP, which is also a portable headphone amp that will drive my HD650s in balanced mode (thou Ivan will likely force me to upgrade to a pair of LCD-2s in the not too distant future). Relying on input from Craig (crwilli) that DSD is a must, the Shanling will get me started with all. Should I find I need a "house" DAC, then the Kitsune will be near the top of the heap for consideration.
Here's Rob's system expanded.
