RIP, Ken Ishiwata. Still remember the Marantz 63-KI very well. My first proper CD-player. Dec 3, 2019 at 9:53 AM

    Had one or two Marantz boxes. Couldn't quite afford the ones with his name on them. Quiet surprised that he was only five years older than me.
    
    Oh, and mortality reminds yet again.

    That's sad news. I've had at least one piece of Marantz gear in my house for the better part of 25 years, so kudos and RIP to Ken for being part of what got me to this place in audiothomfoolery

    @m17xr2b Absolutely.
    
    Socrates, from Plato's Apology: I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know.

    And to conclude, Socrates was executed for his behaviour by those who didn't understand it. Corrupting the youth as it were.

    @m17xr2b Yep. I literally thought of that after typing the message. That is indeed the case! He was accused for "corrupting the youth" by denying the questionable morality of the gods.

    Didn't realise this was a HAT. Saw that it was FOTM when I used to read Reddit for laughs, which just suggested it was massively over-hyped.

    Well, there is also a standalone DAC version. However I was thinking about using it with as mediastreamer/mediaplayer.

    Probably not. The Wyred4sound here was competent but expensive and underwhelming: http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/not-a-lot-of-dac-talk-on-here.197/page-7#post-155986
    
    Not 100% sure but I think the version I heard was 9028Pro.

    I have not been keeping up with the Sabre DAC versions, so totally clueless as to where they are going these days. Saw that NAD has started to put some Sabres in their products, hence the question.
