I have had the long-term plan of buying the MA3i (instead of a second D-1) because of the DoP on SPDIF support and also because it is a fine DAC. There is another DAC that just came out and I want to hear it too.

The only reason I heard the MA3i was because I heard the Allnic D-15000 Signature OTL/OCL DAC in my home for a week. It was great but too expensive at $26k for my budget. I thought it was the best DAC I had heard until the imersiv D-1. My friend suggested I listen to the MA3i since it was half the price and supports DoP on SPDIF.

The new DAC is the baby brother of the 26k Allnic; I am a big fan of OTL/OCL and have a poor man’s OTL.OCL preamp in the Schiit Valhalla 3 OTL/OCL.

My friend who sells this DAC may have it in stock and I will visit him next week with a friend for a quick listen to some headphones + DAC before we go to LA to see RUSH. The MA3i should also be there to compare. 

I will do a home demo of the ASRA and the MA3i when I have cash to buy one of them. I have already heard the MA3i at home and love it. However, OTL/OCL really works for my ears.

Allnic needs to hire someone that can give their products sensical names.
