Excuse me but I'm not sure what you mean. Did they regret changing the 720 and ended up buying it again?

@drummerman: Some support that built-in dac's introduce noise if the implementation of the whole integrated amp is not really good and that is why I am asking. I don't really have many choices in auditioning a big number of amplifiers and that is - mainly - the reason I asked for a couple...

Well that's a tough question :) I find the sound to be somewhat flat (if that makes any sense) and slightly less clear compared to my previous setup (was using the Presonus Eris 4.5 on the same dac). The ODAC is connected on a p.c. (would be the same on a laptop tbh) and most my music files are...
