Hi,
I tested this dac on my 2 cd players, marantz cd63se and consonance cd- 120 linear. It added more detail to my marantz, on my consonance it opened up the soundstage, more dynamic smooth etc, yet keeping the naturalness and musicality of the consonance - I am impressed. I compared it to the rega apollo-r and preferred this dac on my consonance - more open and natural sounding with depth and space. I think this dac is superior to te dacmagic and arcam budget dacs.
I think if you match it to the right cd player as the transport you can have great results, its interesting it didnt have quite the same affect on my marantz cd 63se. I think its a bargain dac for the money. It has a natural warmth in the mids and is detailed and open too.
Has anyone else tried this dac.
Cheers
Steve.
