I was also interested in DAC-68 before I bought DAC-60. As its specification available in English, I think that it has digital volume control (remote is not mentioned). It also uses different D/A chip (AD1853). Moreover, it has Balance I/P and O/P. I try to discuss with some one in HK who tested this model, but it was written in Chinese. He kindly answered me some questions, and he recommended that it was a good DAC if you need Balance O/P. If unbalance O/P was used, he said about 70% quality acheived(his comments). It price is about 100 USD more than DAC-60.
For me, I do not have Balance I/P pre-amplifier. So, I bought DAC-60, then I changed O/P cap. to Moundoff Supreme and tube to NOS PCC88 Telefunken. Addition cost was around 170 USD. I think that it is better to use money to upgrade DAC-60 than buy DAC-68. Anyway, if you go for DAC-68, I recommend you to change tube to NOS tube. You will be happier with NOS tube than Sovek. -- Tum ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13878 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20789 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
