Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the Dac, I have a FIIO m17 which I use for everything, in the car, in my headphones and in my living room, I use it as a digital or analog source.
I was recently able to finish my living room which consists of the following.
Fiio M17 Digital Source
DAC wadia 321
2 MC611 amplifiers
2 JL Subwoofers
Speakers built by me with Satori WO24TX 9.5 Satori 6" MW16TX and Satori Satori TW29TXN
The sound is fantastic, I have had and listened to many excellent systems but I am in love with my current system.
I have done tests between both the wadia and the fiio as an analog source and although both sound very very good, the wadia focuses the instruments in a much easier way, in the fiio they are a little more diffuse, let's say that in conclusion there is a scenario More beautiful and wider sound in the wadia than in the fiio, I have measured the frequency response with both DACs and they measure exactly the same,
3 people have listened without saying which is which and their vote is for the wadia since it becomes more natural and the stage is bigger.
The question is, the fiio in specifications is more advanced than the wadia in terms of Crosstalk, SNR, THD+N etc... but however it cannot with the wadia 321 in terms of sound amplitude and focusing
If I wanted to improve the DAC, what would be the parameter that I would have to take into account? Or would I just have to listen to them and make a decision based on it?
