Sony XBA-N3AP and XBA-N1AP — Impressions thread
I had it attached with a long cable to the Realtek ALC892 in my Asus Z97-A, which I assume is a good DAC (e.g. it has no hiss whatsoever). I will update my post in a few days comparing ~5 source devices.- ludios

Sony XBA-N3AP and XBA-N1AP — Impressions thread
I bought an XBA-N3AP as an upgrade from my ATH-IM70 (a $100 2DD), which I used heavily for 4.5 years. The treble on my ATH-IM70 seemed to have attenuated after a few years (comparing to a less-used pair), but I preferred it that way, so I looked for a replacement with more bass & no vents...- ludios
