It uses the 9028.

Why did they do that Mike? Why not go straight with the 9038?

 

[joeinid]

Very cool Mike, thank you so much. I wonder how much it will cost?

Because that's their midrange DAC. They will save the 9038's for the Mirus.

I'm not sure. I'm guessing $10-15k

 

[kzhtoo]

Really? More than KX-5 twenty and VX-5 twenty? I'm hoping $5-7k.

Well those fancy clocks can be expensive. Also it will likely kill any R2R under $20K

 

[kzhtoo]

I'm excited!

 

[Dr Tone]

It won't be under $8000 US I was just told. How much north of that is the question.

Isn't innovation great

 

[Anatta]

Price will probably be in line with the other 5 series components $8-10K.

Now that would go perfectly with my KX-5/20 and VX-5/20
