The short answer is not yet. The Oppo BDP-83SE is a universal player that uses the DAC (both in 2-ch and multi-channel) but it does not have any digital inputs allowing you to access the DAC chip set. The McIntosh MCD500 uses ESS Sabre 24-bit DAC chipset. It has digital inputs allowing you to access the DAC, but it is not the latest 32-bit architecture, plus it costs $6500. The Peachtree as you mention utilizes a Sabre DAC but it is the 24-bit DAC and it is also an integrated amp. Here is a link to ESS's website with press releases discussing who has adopted their DAC chipsets: http://www.esstech.com/index.php?p=news_inthenews
Any DACs have the Sabre 32bit D/A Converter ??
I'm in the market for a DAC and am curious if there are any
DAC's for about $1000 or less that use a Sabre 32bit D/A converter.
I know the Peachtree Nova uses a Sabre D/A but I am looking
for a DAC that is just a D/A and not an integrated amp as
well.
Thanks..
