Thanks. Looking forward to hear how it compares to the MacBook pro ifi micro fostex setup. Also what does NZ mean?
UPDATE: sounds just as good, my fault with wrong settings!!
Somehow the iem sensitivity button moved and made the headphones sound really bad.
I don't understand, I'm really disappointed right now.
I set the Pioneer XDP-100R to DoP, I was getting the aqua color led when playing dsd but the sound...
It was piercing through my ears.
Compared to the MacBook, it sounded terrible.
I thought a transport was a transport and nothing else.
I was also playing Phill Collins "I don't care anymore" 24/96 and on the Mac it gave me goosebumps, on the xdp it gave me ear pain which I still feel as I'm writing this.
I don't know if is something I did wrong, I don't know if Audirvana has some kind of eq/filter on Mac which makes it sound better; but as of now I'm returning this thing.
Or maybe there is a different app I should try... but I can't because the damn thing already died...
I really want a dedicated dap, but it's not working out.
