Someday I'd love to upgrade and replace my RME Babyface (running as asynchronous DAC). The Halo P5/P6 is at the top of my list in terms of features/functionality and should be fairly future proof for me (2ch or 2.1 setup / no surround).
But I've never heard it..... Can anyone comment on the audio quality?
I have the P5 and tried the P6 a couple months back. While they should sound the same, they don't. I kept my P5 and returned the P6.
Did not like the midrange or bass of the P6 whatsoever compared to the P5. Midrange did not seem full body and bass was weak.
I know, I know they should sound the same, Sorry in this scenario they don't. I know it's not a placebo effect, because I was wanting to like the P6 and the opposite happened.
The only advantage i would give to the P6 is it;s volume pot. Finer adjustments, but then again I didn't like the lit up volume indicator, which some may like.
EDIT: Audio quality is fantastic, completely transparent, no tweeter his ( of course a good amp helps ). Connectivity options and bass management is great.
