Hi Yioryos,
Thanks for your view. I actually quite like that very basic, almost industrial DIY look. I shot them an email to see if they might be flexible with the DAC in terms of providing two coaxial outputs instead of one coaxial and one optical. Their reply was simply that the DAC came with one of each and no flexibility. Also, almost all of the effort for the DAC appears to have gone into their very intricate 'error measurement' with a bunch of LEDs indicating every error, etc. Perhaps more a design for the recording industry where they need to monitor the integrity of the digital conversion. So I've decided against Softone for now.
Thanks for the recommendation on the Northstar transport. Unfortunately, after reading the Lampizator website about this model, I could never part with the sort of money they're expecting.
