Reply to comment by No-Context5479 in I'm after a DAC that can replicate Xbass? by paddyirish1989

Around $1000 Aud, maybe higher in a few weeks. What would you recommend? Also why not the HDVD800?

Also I've managed to almost replicate the bass boost by ifi. Will definitely do some more tinkering. Thank you
