Amp is tube 2a3 SET amp. I'have a direct comparison with heavily modified Behringer DEQ2496 based on DeltaSigma AK4396. It's very analitycal (too dry and bright for me) so it's a complete oposite.Still. Low frequency control and resolution, feeling of "being there" is on another level.  

Hi. I just got my DAC19. Overall it's nice. Very smooth. Resolution is average. But the bass is quite slow. Does it improve over time? It's on for about 40 hours and it's not getting better.
