The only source or DAC that's currently in production is the DA2 and maybe(?) the DAC2X as a lower priced option to the DA2. The amplification on the other hand should all be current.
That's an interesting point. So if Esoteric stopped selling drives to third-parties, and I believe only Accuphase also makes their own drives, would there be any support issues with buying an EMM Labs or other player if there is a drive failure. I think I had heard that's why Soulution stopped production of the 541 because they could no longer get drives from Esoteric.
