Fosi ZD3 - balanced DAC with HDMI ARC
With VirtualHifi Supersonic V2 opamps (immediate impressions) - sound is less cold and less clinical then with Burson V7V Dual opamps. It does sound more natural. Tonality is perfect and also very neutral. Soundstage imaging is not as flat-wide and empty in the middle as with V7V, soundstage is...- myusernameislove

Fosi ZD3 - balanced DAC with HDMI ARC
With linear power supply - ZD3 gets significant bump in detail retrieval, clarity, outlines of notes, darker background and certain authority and gets way ahead of DO100 Pro in all of these technical aspects of music delivery. But the result still does not match DO 100 Pro's very pleasant type...- myusernameislove

Fosi ZD3 - balanced DAC with HDMI ARC
With V7V dual opamps and stock power supply ZD3 has same tonality as DO100 Pro (plenty of bass), but a little narrower soundstage which is not as immersive sounding as DO100 Pro's soundstage. Fosi is little bit clearer, also more sterile sounding than DO100 Pro with these opamps. I am waiting...- myusernameislove

Fosi ZD3 - balanced DAC with HDMI ARC
ZD3 came and first thing I noticed is that there is big difference between ZD3 and DO100 Pro in tonality: ZD3 is brighter and more pristine, with more prominent upper mids and highs and much more clarity, DO100 Pro is darker and more bass heavy, also warmer, with less focus on high regions which...- myusernameislove

Laiv Harmony µDAC, Discrete Balanced R-2R DAC
Ill get uDac. I tried to support what I perceive by providing link to Darko audio's review. There is probably something unusual going on and Mr. Srajan from Darko digs it.- myusernameislove

Laiv Harmony µDAC, Discrete Balanced R-2R DAC
It is, if you compare it to Holo May or R26. Or you do not hear those edges (sharp edge of notes) in the comparison video? It is the most sigma-delta like sounding presentation in R2R dac I heard in demo videos. btw it is a little bit distracting in headphones. It seems more holographic than...- myusernameislove

Laiv Harmony µDAC, Discrete Balanced R-2R DAC
When I listened to comparison of R26 to Harmony Dac (here - A is R26, B is Harmony) via headphones, I noticed, that R26 is more musical because of the way it presents the soundstage and Harmony DAC is more analytical from the exact same reason. I wonder if uDac is similar to Harmony Dac...- myusernameislove

Wow! Sennheiser HD 540 Reference are so good.
Sorry fellow czech. I do not know how GSX mini sounds like, but my aune sounds well too :). I like traits of A26 on paper. Singxer also. But what attracts me to warmer sounding uDac (warmth was confirmed) is incredible USB implementation, price, size (I know big means better, but if it works in...- myusernameislove

Wow! Sennheiser HD 540 Reference are so good.
I will wait for more reviews of Harmony uDAC and then I will decide if I want new dac now or later. It sounds pretty ok even now on my current rig. I know about A26 and Singxter and Fosi ZD3 with upgradeable p.supply and opamps. But I did not like ZD3´s sound signature from yt demos hidden in...- myusernameislove

Yes. A26 is on my radar. Airy, clear, transparent dac. It was just quick comparison, and "best" is subjective term. No doubt Diana DZ is better headphone overall, I am just pointing out HD540's strength and where it gets ahead of todays besties for the price of half of Diana's left replacement...- myusernameislove

Track 5 - https://ivosedlacek.com/en/eshop/silemtium/ - on such tracks HD540 bests Diana DZ at least in my humble opinion. Ivo Sedláček has probably 3 albums where he uses on one or two tracks his Orchestral Monochord (Silentium, Zahrada ticha, Mystical Violin 2), but one or two albums has its...- myusernameislove
