Once Sunlight is released, post your impressions of the sound here.

Thank you Ted, I have been enjoying the DS at 92 for the last few days, specially now that there is a clear explanation of the low level detail code engaged.

Before I compare the first and only time, I restart the DS with the old firmware to ensure the same cold conditions for both firmwares. Later when the new firmware plays for some time, the DS has its optimal working conditions and the new firmware improved as the old did after DS was constantly powe…

OK, the plot thickens… I dropped the DS volume to 92… WTF? It sounds more… um … “comfortable”… I don’t get this at all. I am totally fine with it… I just don’t get it. I am liking Sunlight. But I don’t get why this version required some work… Was my Prima Luna integrated being overloaded? …

The 92 is a figment of the DS’s imagination. The DS can’t drive as high as most sources so it’s unlikely to cause overloads to a preamp. Here’s a brief description of the 92 if you didn’t catch it earlier. I’ve written similar posts multiple times so a search might net one that explains more than…

But also remember…if the right people would tell audiophiles, they have to play 24/192 files with their socks off, they would at some point hear it.

I completely agree. They talk so much to say so little.

Yeah, I think my socks were attenuating my room acoustics, leading to poor sound stage. I find barefoot works well with swim fins being a close second!

An online review… interesting these guys heard what I did… but seem to like it… whereas these same items were not so appealing to me: “Louder, brighter, more forward… fatigue… good recordings great, marginal recordings on the edge…” Interesting… The jury is still out with me… I am liking Sunlight…

One thing I’ve noticed is, I’m hearing more of a difference between listening during the day vs late at night when the power is cleaner, with Sunlight compared to Windom. I am using an Audience power conditioner. I did notice a slight difference before with Windom, but it never got in the way of enj…

I’m still loving Sunlight! Waiting on the Edcor’s to take it to the next level!
