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

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

24 days have passed. Either my DSDAC or my ears or both have burned in. Martha Argerish plays Rachmoninff No.3 (12/1982 recording) nicely, very nicely in fact. (PST+DSDAC+P12) Struggling if should upgrade to MKII, if sunlight is the starting baseline of it……:slight_smile:

I’m 19 days in and with Sunlight I’ve been able to get truly excellent sound with careful tweaking of this and that, mainly gain structure between my components and a bit of speaker positioning. I’m getting fantastic sound. I can’t afford the next possible upgrades (the transformer mod, going from …

I like the ear burning theory :slight_smile: … @Terrence , look at VMAX’s post where he says that the XS4400 transformer mod brought the biggest SQ improvement: [image] Modding the DirectStream DAC MKI DACs I rank only three complete. B.A.D. I’d say 25, 15 and 8 for perc…

Neither do I, so I had @wctaudio install it for me. Very reasonably priced and extremely quick turnaround. Quality workmanship with super clean solders.

[image] Terrence: Checked @Vmax profile, he only needs a PST to bring the SQ up even more for disk playback. :slight_smile: The TSS, new Amps, or Octave most likely before a PST. Loving the streaming these days

Very good choice, will definitely bring the SQ to another level. Would like to take same path, but since not doing streaming yet, and capped by upgrade budget, MKII will be my target to be able to continue the journey of DAC firmware update. Very interested on what Ted can do with a more powerful …
