So, after several hours of listening these few days since receipt, I am very satisfied with the rendering of the DAC of this device. (only dac because I won't have the opportunity to test its intrinsic crossover capacity for a few weeks due to lack of time.). I gave him my favorite albums/songs and nothing to complain about. It's beautiful, it's honest, and as I've already said before: beautiful soundstage, separation of instruments, precision and real silences.
But obviously this is only a limited use of this "toolbox". I already have a nanodigi for several years, always functional and "transparent", I imagine that the flex eight will be just as much, even if its operation differs slightly.
In any case, as soon as I use its more advanced functions, I will not hesitate to come and let you know.
Anyway, I would really like to see a test of this one by Amir. It's clearly a niche tool, but by surveying the many international "diy" websites, it's the kind of tool that the community is eagerly awaiting. (I would have sent him my copy but being from another continent it is unfortunately not so obvious.)
[Just for reference, here are the dacs used before :
Toping E30 (still used)
Topping D10s (still used as an interface)
SMSL M8 (Dead)
iBasso DX90 (dac mode) (still used in nomadic mode with iems, best mobile audio player ever used!).
Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 (first gen). (still active on a configuration and used as a diy test tool and for musical interpretation/creation)
Musical Fidelity V-DACII (sold a long time ago, not really good)
Creative SOUND BLASTER X-Fi Platinum (left aside - personal collection - excellent playback quality (by ear))
E-MU 1820M (left aside - personal collection - excellent playback quality (by ear))
Creative Sound Blaster Cards (whose name I can't remember).]
