Hi, I've had it few days now.
I can confirm what I'saw in some review. I'ts harsh sounding out of the box. I've been burning in this for two days and it's different, Smoother now.
Music sounds more layered and the soundstage really is bigger than old M500.
It's really good one. I've been thinking that this gear must sound better. A90, Focal clear, LCD-2C. This dac is absolutely big step to the right way.
This brought the goosepumps back to music.
I A/B:d this with my old Fiio E17. Plugged that into rca input of A90 se I could change source in a blink of an eye.
That's an non thrilling dac, no nyances of the music are there, Warm sounding. sound is inside your head.
The "DAC:s don't sound different" guys can change their hobby IMO
Wow! And i thought i was alone.. I can confirm this with the D1SE, as much as hate to disclose the experience.
