CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE
So in general it seems like all comes down to the Dave vs Bricasti. How those compare to each other? Does the Bricasti sounds compressed comparing to Dave? Any flaws sound wise?- theppd

CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE
Thank you! I thought so regarding the Analog... I plan to connect the DAC to my AMP (McIntosh MC275) directly which I do now. Balanced or not is not a major factor for me. I enjoy both at the moment from the Vega while both the amp and DAC are balanced but sound great on RCA or XLR. The...- theppd

CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE
Romaz, thanks for such a thorough reply! Much appreciated! And have you heard the MSB Analogue? Is it on the same 'happy-sounding DAC' path as the Vega?

AURALiC ARIES
So hey everyone. Today I've turned on my Aries for the very first time and I'm completely disappointed in terms of user experience. Soundwise it's flawless though. It all started with a disappointment from an error on the screen "Network error, please use LAN cable". I haven't planned to do...- theppd
