DARREN MYERS. PS Audio Senior Analog Engineer
While it’s true that there will never be a component that satisfies every persons unique preferences when it comes to feature sets and UI (I happen to massively prefer the MKII UI and no thanks on putting noisy streamers in top flight DACs)…
This DAC is blowing my MIND when it comes to SQ. It has taken my system to a level I never thought was possible - from a digital or even an analog source. There is a gut punching confidence with this DAC that hits you with an absolute immaculate top to bottom coherency and tonal “rightness”. The palpable 3D imagining, layering, and noise floor “blackness” is intoxicating. I’m swimming in a dimensional room of sound with a big smile on my face over here and everyone that I have shown my system to since installing it has pretty much flipped out, including Chris.
Ted has hit it out of the park on this one people. I’m serious.
I cannot wait for people to hear this masterpiece!
Who would have ever thought this talented engineer could get it all so wrong. And, today’s dissenters agreed with him to the hilt…ah, the vagaries..!
