While expensive, I think the Analog is one of the best products in its price range. Really an amazing product. I lived with one for quite some time until my Diamond was shipped and installed and loved the Analog.

I am not a big fan of the UMT+, however, if you are using it for a transport as well as video it is the way to go. As a renderer it is not great. Their PROI2S is excellent so enjoy and since you are spending the bucks you are, consider the renderer module if you are also looking for computer audio in addition to the PROI2S module for your UMT+ as your two modules

Agreed 99% :) I don't think the Analog DAC is that expensive, given what it delivers, specially with the volume control onboard!

I did get the MSB Analog DAC and UMT V. Way better than the Wadia521/571 for red book CDs. And it does SACD. And Hi Rez and blu Ray and a whole lot more. Does sound Analog
