Does anyone have this setup? Any impressions?

Both are exemplarily neutral and accurate, so there's little need for compensational effects. And although both aren't what I would call spectacular and euphonic in terms of sound characteristic, together they offer a really high level of organicalness, realism and musicality without sacrificing resolution and detail. Their unvarnishedness may make them slightly critical when it comes to the quality of the source, though. Since my unit is a prototype without the DAC, I can't comment on the latter's quality. . |
