M2Tech Young DAC and Palmer Power Supply

Steven Stone has posted a review of the M2Tech Young DAC ($1499) and Palmer power supply ($1100) at AVGuide. His conclusions:

“Priced at $1499 with a wall-wart power supply or $2599 with the Palmer battery power supply, the Young DAC falls into the low-to-middle price range for high-resolution DACs. And while no digital device is future-proof, the Young’s ability to handle up to 384/32 files, accept outboard USB converters, and switch bitrates means it should easily stay current for quite a while. With multiple inputs, the Young makes an ideal digital hub and D/A converter for anyone who already owns a great analog preamp. For headache-free computer audio you can couple the Young to a Mac Mini running Pure Music or Amarra, and you have the makings of a great-sounding, low-drama computer audio system that will amaze and delight.”
