Yeah ... I would stay with the DAC in the Esoteric for sure. I tried the 526 and for me the DAC was about at the level of a typical $2-$3k dac. I'll be interested to hear your impressions but the DAC to me simply didn't fit with the quality of the rest of the unit. It is an awesome preamp though for sure so enjoy and congrats! Congrats on the K1 also!
