Reference quality great value!
Amazing coherence,really dark silent backdrop. Rock solid sound stage deep, wide and high. Very flat and neutral, highly detailed. Great vocals. The headphone amp is excellent with my Grado RS2e mahoganies. Brought my system to another level. Now I understand what they mean by “reference “ audio quality. Clearly identifiable quality build throughout. There is a level of musical expression and nuance I didn’t imagine existed. I always thought how much better could my system sound? It starts at the source!
Also iTunes sound amazing on this DAC. I can’t wait to play some SACDs and see where that leads me.
