* This Dac is totally underestimated. There are various modifications that bring it to a contemporary sound level. Unfortunately it is often said that the device can only process 20 bit signals. In fact 24 bit files are no problem and run up to 48 Khz without any problems. A well modified DA-500 is in no way inferior to various DACs that work with the PCM1704. It is only available at a much lower price.

* Dieser Dac wird total unterschätzt. Es gibt diverse Umbauten die ihn klanglich auf ein zeitgemäßes Niveau bringen. Leider wird dem Gerät oft unterstellt nur max. 20 Bit Signale verarbeiten zu können. Tatsächlich sind 24 Bit Dateien kein Problem und laufen anstandslos bis 48 Khz. Ein gut modifizierter DA-500 steht diversen DACs die mit dem PCM1704 arbeiten in nichts nach. Er ist dabei nur ungleich günstiger zu bekommen.
  
Many call it a high end converter. It is simply extremely far away from that. It sounds, probably also by aging, extremely boring and flat.

However, anyone who has ever heard a professionally rebuilt version that includes, for example, all capacitors, the operational amplifier and the clock does not need to worry about a new acquisition.

Extreme musicality, impeccable fine dynamics and spatiality provide surprises and top some current Dacs into the three-digit euro range.
