Well I have Musical Fidelity V-DAC and It's the hell of an amazing DAC, It's price is 20,500 INR. An excellent sounding DAC. Let's see how gud the ASUS Xonar Essence One will be.

^^ Again the Music Fidelity is a pure DAC. This one has a powerful headphone amp built in.

Also the Musical Fidelity is a $350 DAC and its being sold at 20,500. Lets see how much premium Indian people have to pay over the US price for the Asus.

Actually, I am personally more interested in its DAC section.
The Xonar STX had a well regarded DAC section with reports suggesting that it held its own against standalone DACs like DACmagic & VDAC.
I am hoping that the new 'Xonar One' would be an improvement on all of these.
