I really think you are onto a winner with the D.BOB and wish you every success with it. At first people might think it costs a lot, but there is really nothing else that actually works to do the same job. I will tell people about it for sure! In fact I was in a record store today telling the owner about the D.BOB and I am not sure he really believed it was true! They will learn!
Keep on keeping on and thanks again!

I recently purchased a D.BOB thinking what the heck. Splurge and see.
It seems that I've experienced 20 years of disappointment with SACD as a format. Unless I was willing to spend 10k plus, I had not heard any players that really rewarded the acquisition of a whole library of DSD discs. I wrote off the good but not great sound as endemic to the format. My 100s of SACDs mostly lay unplayed as high resolution streaming became a fulfilling medium.
Installing the D.BOB has changed my audio life. And it's not just the amazing sound of SACD through my Mytek Brooklyn+ fed by the D.BOB, but all media from my oppo 105D through a current generation HDMI seems to be producing extraordinarily fine sound with spacious images that render newly discovered information. I want to listen all day. I dream about the sound.
To say that I'm grateful would be understated. But, Thank you for this brilliant device. Wow!

This should be a mandatory piece for any serious audiophile. Reg CD and SACD thru my DAC sound unreal. To say you're hearing your music as you never have is an understatement. Thank you for making something that brings a whole new level of enjoyment. Best money ever spent.

“Hi Kal, I decided it was time to upgrade my Ayre C-5xe and purchased the D.BOB from Eric Geer in January. There was no way to buy it in Australia, I had tried online. Eric was extremely helpful even though he was attending NAMM at the time. I use it with a Chord Hugo TT2 and Cambridge Audio CX-UHD transport. The Chord TT2 accepts DSD via DoP on S/PDIF. I have also used it with a Chord Qutest. It has worked flawlessly and I’m completely happy with the D.BOB”

“I received the D.BOB yesterday, it was very simple to hook up and worked perfectly!
I can now get far superior sound quality using my DirectStream DAC rather than the inbuilt Sony unit. This is a far better option than investing in a very expensive SACD player that doesn’t have all the functions of the Sony when used as a DVD player”
