This website is really science oriented, so let's start with factual facts:
- the unit has very good measurements
- around 200$ is a low cost for a DAC
- personal fact: my very expansive DAC is now unplugged
After that, with no relation with science, I can say that I like:
- a surprising 3D image when used with my other low cost equipment,
- timbral characteristic,
- balanced sound,
- a kind of sweet decay,
- plenty other points I cannot describe with my poor english.
Another point is power consumption: I do not want to spend a lot of electricity to listen to music, I want my hobby low impact for the planet.
First, there is no reason to apologize for your "poor english". Your grasp of the language is better than you know. Much better.
Second, thanks for your information. I will assume that what I call "glare" is a problem with my older DAC that was added to my pre/pro most likely as an afterthought (the design is now at least 6 years old, the chip is probably older than that). I will purchase an SU-8 soon and try it for a month while hoping I don't hear what I hear now.
Thank you, sir!
