It's some simple 3-terminal regulators, off-the-shelf DIR and DAC chips, and inexpensive, standard op-amps. The benchmark DAC is living proof that audiophile quality is all about GOOD DESIGN, not exotic parts. Good marketing (Ultralock) is what sells it, but it has nothing to do with what's inside. As Andrew says, it's all about the sound. You do need more than good sound to make it sell though - throwing a little xxxxx in there never hurts. We have SlimDSP, for example. :) -- seanadams _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
