Vince said: The NuPrime IDA-16 is an exemplary integrated amp-DAC with rock-solid imaging, transparent sound, and tight control of bass. It doesn’t impose a sonic signature on the sound -- I was enthralled with every recording I played through it.

Read the SoundStage! Access review.

The gist: Lots of good stuff packed into this sub-$2500 integrated-DAC.
