Hi guys,
I just got a DMP-A6 (regular version) and sold my CXN v2. I had to sell it before getting the DMP-A6 and I sorta bought the DMP-A6 blindly as it's not really available to listen to here in little Denmark. At least not where I live.
I know the CXN v2 had Wolfson DACs. The DMP has Sabers.. The CXN v2 had more punch in the vocals. Is it just part of the Saber DACs that the vocals are more behind the rest of the audio image? I feel like most vocals sound a little lower and less forthcoming than on the CXN v2. Would the Master edition do any difference in terms of this? I'm sorry, I've only had the CXN v2 and nothing else to compare the EverSolo to. At the moment I feel like people saying it's the device to beat under 1000 confuses me a bit. I guess the CXN v2 is just a bit over 1000 bucks - perhaps that's where I went wrong? Or maybe I just really like the Cambridge sound? I've never owned anything else from Cambridge so I dunno if it's just cause I was used to the sound or not. But I feel like the DMP sounds a little more thin in the mids. - I'd happily pay a little more for the Master edition if it would add a little more body to the mids.
What do you think? And sorry again, I don't have a lot of experience with DAC chips and how they are supposed to sound. If someone could add some experiences to the Master or in general just if the Wolfson's actually just do have more warmth or body or whatever you'd call it. I think sometimes the DMP sounds almost clinical or sterile.
