Moodlab Dice and Concept DAC

Moodlab from China has two reasonable priced non over-sampling DAC offerings.  The Dice is based on a Philips TDA1543 digital to analog converter chip run in non over-sampling mode.  USB, Coaxial and Toslink digital input, re-clocked by Crystal semiconductor chip.  Accepts up to 24/96kHz but downsample to 16-bit.  Shunt regulated power supply. US$399.






The Concept is "conceptually" the same as The Dice, but with no USB input. US$249.
