So I naturally had to boost the bass a few db <110hz
Then a few days ago I was listing to my system and noticed the bass had good punch and depth to it, but I remembered I had EQ off! Wasn't as big as EQ, but it was a noticeable improvement, but any lack of bass is now held accountable to the amp.
I think I am coming up on 100 hours or so. Anyone else notice improvement in bass around this time?
I also had sibilance the fews few hours, but that is long gone.
I can post more in depth impression by easter.

The DAC really blossoms around the 80 hour mark, after that, the next big step was around the 400 mark, and in comparison wasn't nearly as large, and everything after that was nothing really notable.
I handles bass on some tracks that my iPods only distort or can't really handle and clip. I notice there are some Wu-Tang and Method Man songs that have some CRAZY deep and impactful bass that can only be realized when playing through the Keces unit.
There are also some electronic songs that I have that have some PIERCING highs that I have only been able to hear when on my laptop. All other genres basically just have been given a new life, but the afore mentioned two are really what stand out.
It's definitly highly recommended. I can't speak for the DA131 though.

tjumper78 when are you gonna write a detailed review of this DAC, gotta have more details.
Also, has anyone compared the DA-151 with the SVDAC05 or the Musiland MD-10 yet? The price is just about the same and those use the CS4398 top of the line chip. So a direct comparison would definitely help.

I don't think many people own multiple USB DACs like they own multiple headphones. So it is hard to get a shootout reviews.
I have a Constantine+ USB DAC, and willing to send to someone has other USB DACs to do the comparision. Ofcourse I will pay for the postage both ways to get my DAC back after the review.
Hope other people with other USB DACs willing to send in their DACs and someone willing to do the comparision review for us.
