So I've got the A20h in my cart but I'm not sure. I think I've gone too far down the rabbit hole on all this. I've looked at some reviews of the JM 20, I know Amir tested it as good, but noise ratings aside, is it really a good dac? I've seen some people say that is has poor instrument separation and layering. Plus you can only get it on Ali which who knows what you're gonna get or if it's real.
I'm craving a rich, impactful, emotional and detailed sound. I'm not convinced the ALC897 codec can product anything beyond mediocre. The dongle, while having good noise and what not readings, does it actually produce good audio? Or would I be better served with something like the K11 (Maybe r2r? Though I think they nerfed the amp on that one for some reason).
