Another thing to think about is that with the DAC in the same box as
the rest of the system, the sonics won't be hurt by moving bits around
via SP/DIF (or whatever). As

Sean, I'd wager that there is a market for a stand-alone DAC offering
based on the AK4396 and Jung regulators. Every SB1/2/3 owner would be
a potiential customer if the price was right
I understand that the DAC is merely one piece of the puzzle that can
affect sound. However, I shy from buying into the snake oil sales
pitch of new means better. I like to hear the difference and sometimes
its quantifiable and other times negligible or detrimental.

Exactly - in particular, the AK4396 benefits nicely from the Jung super
regulators.

There's much more to the DAC than the DAC, if that makes any sense. I'm
talking about design, PCB layout, components,
Thanks for the reply Sean...My current processor uses the ak4395 and I
was trying to decide if the "miracle" DAC would provide some

They are similar parts in the same family - take a look at page four on
the ak4396 data sheet to see the differences. The main ones are lower
power and DSD support. Sound-wise the big
