Hello,
I'm looking to upgrade my DAC from an Asus Xonar Essence One Muses Edition, and I'd appreciate some input.
Currently I'm using a Yulong A28 (balanced) amp with HD800's + Cardas Fatpipe balanced cables.
The two models I'm eying at the moment are the Gustard x20 and the Matrix X-Sabre (USB). Would these DAC's qualify as "substantial" upgrades to the E1's DAC component? Any other good choices to consider in the same price range?
I am looking for a slightly softer and warmer sound than the E1, in particular.
Thanks very much for any help offered
