Great, that one looks amazing too for the price! You know I could spend weeks now doing nothing but research to find the absolutely perfect one but having a newborn I just don't have the time! Think I'll just stick with the Toppings, thought about ordering it from https://topping-audio.com/ which is a bit more expensive but they seem to be based in Poland (close to Berlin, Germany where I live) and if there's any trouble likely to help.
I read that it's important for that DAC to have a linear power adapter like the "iFi iPower 5v". Any thoughts on this? And should I also have one for the Raspberry or just the DAC?
