thanks will investigate. There is a shortage of decent eq software out there and since DAC makers dont add it as a feature, we need more.

do you know of any? And the thread on here doesnt seem to have any, apart from Boom 3D which needs win 10 or 11.

Great to see these ABX blind tests being carried out as best as possible. Only wish there were far more of these and perhaps encouraged by dealers, which will never happen. The other thing is why are we constantly getting a new DACs released from makers like SMSL and Topping with miniscule...

One to add to the android list is a player, I always usually like using the stock players on devices however this one beats most players I've used on Windows, ios or android and has a great EQ. It's available from android play and it's call Musicolet. On my android phone its a slick...

No idea, havn't had that one.

Yes. You have the option to select either output or both at the same time

Soon they will make a dac with a filter which emulate the sound. Suprised they haven't already.

I love this forum

And plus there's always burn-in, was that accounted for :D

I understand what you mean about some giving people a hard time but a lot of it is justified as they just do not buy into the subjective reviews or biased listening. A lot of the time DACs when listened to blindly and if are all level matched perfectly, will sound extremely similar, they should...

Another huge factor! I remember going to an audio store many years ago armed with the latest What Hi-Fi reviews primed to buy speakers. I picked the two best reviewed products they had! 5 golden stars or whatever to go with my 5 star amp. These things practically put you back in time to where...

It does have a lot of emphasis placed on it and I would kind of agree. It's something that can be measured but why place so much emphasis on it if it cannot be heard? I think the point of it is, if I'm not mistaken, the measurement shows that it is of a level where no matter if you are a golden...

That's really intersting you say the SMSL is not 'as' powerful. I have three other dacs here which my smsl sounds relatively louder than, with no adjustment.

Yes, the remote's excellent, it 'almost' works when sat at a 90-degree angle to the DAC so as long as you're in front of it, it'll work. It's extremely quick and responsive as well. No idea what a MkII subjectively sounds like. All I know is this one has slightly better or perhaps improved...

To be fair a lot of well-designed 'well-measuring' equipment can sound a bit like that, I actually believe a lot of us don't like listening to this technically flat frequency response. Some of us like a bit of colour and flavour in our music, it gives it more body, tonal richness and perhaps...

PRAT, fans of Naim know it very well. Autosuggestion is a hell of a thing when you're looking at a bit of Naim gear and enjoying a bit of music. Still, it's very nice well made, simplistically styled gear to be looking at IMHO.

Scientifically speaking though subjective reviews will probably sell more DACs than factual ones. And in a market of listening to emotional content such as music, people often buy with their beliefs of what it'll do than with facts.

Why will the PCB break?

Great little DAC and the different form factor is refreshing if you ask me. It has plenty of outputs, a great remote, ton of features and a great headphone amp. A subjective sound review here would be completely pointless, there'll be plenty of those I'm sure with people hanging off every word...
