Just to say after changing pre amp, power amp, cdp and finally the dac I have discovered were the sibilance was coming from....the Dac. I now have a chord hugo. To my ears, vocals are full of detail and are far more life-like. I am realy enjoying my favorite singers again!

I have had a pair of Venere 2.5 speakers for a few months now and have so say I love the sound. They are linked up to Cyrus x power amps and Dac xp+. The base is deep and tonal and treble is clean and the whole sound is airy and involing. My room has a wooden floor so I have put the speakers on...
