Soundaware Esther Analog review: LINK
TL/DR: As I think most of you know, I love the sound Esther Analog provides. I think it's my favorite sounding DAP at the moment, and I've tried quite a few DAPs recently. However, the immature firmware makes this a reserved recommendation. In fact, I debated a long time time about whether to give it 3 or 3.5 stars and decided to go with 3.5 stars because I think the sound quality is very good and know that Soundaware is actively working on making the firmware better. I'll revisit the review and increase the rating if / when Soundaware implements firmware fixes.
