Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

The DAC used in the uDAC-5 is not the 9010 but the 9010K2M, which is a low power, two-channel (stereo) only version. So it uses one internal DAC per channel. I expect the noise and distortion to be higher, but it would also be meaningless to put anything else in such a small box, with an opamp based amplification circuitry that by necessity is very simple - and definitely not at the refinement level of the Gustart X20, not to speak of the HE 1.
