--------------------------------------------------------------------- Remote beer tap control :D https://paypal.me/hfzytreviews Behind the scenes photos:   / hifi_zone_yt   --------------------------------------------------------------------- If you remember, I own ZD3 - and its so good that its one of my DAC recommendations. So when I saw there is a matching headphone amp that doubles as DAC - but this time based on Asahi Kasei, I immediately wanted to have it here for testing. The price is around 199$ so thats roughly same area as ZD3, but this time there is also a balanced headphone amplifier inside! But, is this combo as good as ZD3?
