A new USB DAC with no power supply and a 2.2V output. Made by the engineers at Muse. A killer for the money. I will have both models next wek for evaluation. If they hit the mark as I expect they will a tour may be order. In home demos will be available as well. For $250 complete. Thats right $250.

So it's purely powered by the USB power?  That sounds interesting as long as the USB power can be kept clean.

Sounds interesting, I'm suspicious that it's 'all that'.. but am very interested to hear it if it meets Mr. Rollo's expectations. :)

Couple questions.. .Does 16-bit 48 kS/s mean it's a sort-of oversampler?  What's kS/s? 
It's also a 1.1 USB port... 1.3 was the last standard a few years ago.. it's been 2.0 for a while and I think 3.0 is the latest.. and they'e all backward compatible.

richidoo:
Maybe that particular 1.1 port they use has magical audiophile powers. Current production USB2 parts should be cheaper so maybe there's something special about the older parts, like NOS DAC chips. USB 1.1 is still plenty of bandwidth for redbook which burns 10MB/minute.

Looking forward to your take Charles.
