@gosta,
here's a list of DDC & streamers with AES output worth considering (for cost reasons) for me:
-Sinxger SU-1/SU-6
-Mutech MC3
-Metrum Ambre
-Gustard U16
-pi2design 502dac (AES)
out of these, I'm mainly interested in the new DDCs: Gustard U16 and the upcoming Sinxger SU-6.
According to my readings, for near-field the models to go are the 8341&8341. They can be used closer than 1 meter keeping the point source coherence.
In my case, I'm mainly interested in the smallest 8331, because I just want low listenning volumes in a small room, and the price gap with the 8341 is high.
As per the 8351, it cost the same as the 8341, in spite of the size and SPL, because it is older and uses a less sophisticated DSP and probably amps.
