More notes: NOT a subtle improvement: the entire presentation has more body, "weight", depth, and expansiveness. :celebrate008_2:

I watched a few reviews and even spoke with the re-seller in more detail. My system is extremely revealing. The DAC is very detailed but without sacrificing musicality. It provides a highly detailed robust bass without it sounding sloppy. Both mids...
