Yeah, that Airist really is poorly made.
In case the poor design isn't the explanation, do you, or anyone else here, have a suggestion to what the explanation could be, except perhaps not level-matching them completely?
Haven't seen any info on the reconstruction filter used in the MOS16. If it's a super slow variety with very early treble roll off, that might give an audible difference.
