I thought you might. He might of had an inkling how to measure stereophonic spatial aspects, but to audiophiles, it'll always be a great, magical mystery.

Yes.
They make it sound better.

Yeah Resonessence did a great job of that with the Herus as well

But I hear it falls short of the Mirus sound wise if that's important.

Looks like a nice unit. Have you calculated the number of permutations that result from the formats and filters available. Then how many man hours are required to choose the optimum version. It could be there won't be time for a bunch of music in that context. So your problem may turn out to be self correcting.

A lot of DAC's look really good. The downfall comes if you compare them to better DAC's. As long as you never do that, you're safe.

If you want something in the league of the 326 Euro Mirand DAC, you will have to do better than the $5000 Resonessence Mirus. I had 2 of them before demoing the Mirand. They are gone now. But retail wise, you'll have a hard time beating the Mirus for $5000.

It doesn't look attractive; bland dark force from the Star Wars saga with no character fleshing.
Five grands, I want some "visual" connection. Not just audio nirvana.
Can you undress her (remove her top) and show us her curvatures, lines, and parts and all?
If she has guts in, it might help us to appreciate more her outside.

Is that on DSD from a PC or with raw PCM?

It's a very well built DAC.

Mirus killer right here. Will cost you about $600 and an hours time:
That counts as pretty exciting news then - that a CMOS S/C opamp based DAC beats out one with on-chip resistors. I'll have to order up a Taobao AKM board to have a play myself.
