Violectric DHA V590 DAC/AMP - Blue Velvet
Very glad this digression could be helpful. I still want to make it clear that I'm not an "anti-HiRes" audiophile who ignores the role of the format in high-quality playback. As @project86 has mentioned, how much improvement you can get from a superior audio format depends on the "resolving...- Lambeek

Violectric DHA V590 DAC/AMP - Blue Velvet
Couldn't agree more. Also a huge fan of RR. The recordings of Manfred Honeck/Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra sound fantastic and show us how high the modern recording technologies can reach in terms of SQ - even at 16/44.1. Although many boutique recording companies use DSD or Hi-Res PCM as...- Lambeek

I'm also a fan of DSD recordings since to my ears DSD is more vivid and analog-like and always offers a less edgy listening experience than PCM could ever do - at least for acoustic recordings(mostly classical and jazz). However, I might be less troubled by the lack of superior audio...- Lambeek

Violectric DHA V590 DAC/AMP - Blue Velvet
Agree. There are more factors besides budget and sound quality that affect one's preference for separates or all-in-ones. In most cases, the separates can't defeat all-in-ones on price-performance ratio, while all-in-ones can't defeat separates on mix-n-match flexibility (or fun?). One drawback...- Lambeek

Violectric DHA V590 DAC/AMP - Blue Velvet
Does anyone have a chance to compare the performance of the DAC part of DHA V590 with some well-known dedicated DACs like Mytek Brooklyn DAC+, Benchmark DAC3, Chord Qutest or others with retail prices around $2K? If the DAC part of V590 is on par with or even slightly better than these DACs, one...- Lambeek

More eager to know the performance of the pure analogue section - might be a good indicator of the future HPA version of V590.- Lambeek
