For those who like a very forgiving sound, and won't destroy all poor recordings. The Arcam does a great job, it has all the aspects of good sound while being very forgiving, I run it into my MG Head OTL III, and it sounds magnificent. But if you are the analytical type that like the HD800 over HD650 or the LCDX/3 over the LCD 2, then going with Mojo or Hugo, will be a much better bet.

i actually find it a little bit aggressive and the highs are a bit piercing even with a tube amp and a hd650 , but maybe i just don't like that sparkle.

From memory, I agree with your opinion, similar equipment, tube amp and the HD600 and highs were a bit too aggressive.

I'd still like to know the answer to this question, if anyone has any experience.

the supply is what makes the irdac a good buy, its very well implemented and the clock is another good part. so if you ask me its pointless, if you want to spend get the mojo maybe or a ladder dac, i say that because they are both different implementations then a regular sig-del chip which ever if you change would be almost the same flavour.

I finally took the plunge and received my Burson Soloist MK2 yesterday which sounds absolutely great with my mojo and Hd 800 (modded with super dupont resonator). No shrills & highs absolutely musical sound. I intend to get the tube amp later this year to keep a balance and decided upon Woo Audio WA6 with sophia princess upgrade tube and drivers.

OR you just use the mojo.

Yes Correct. Hope you have been able to sell Your Burson.

any's irDAC make a clicking sound between sound on and off?
 
Mine makes a "click" sound when I pause any music that I am playing and the USB LED turns red, then another "click" when I press play again. 
 
however, it doesn't do that when I mute....

Reading this thread is like going through a time machine. What a throwback. I never owned the irdac but I have owned two rHead in the past few years. They are mighty impressive little black boxes. Pitch black background, good dynamic swing and absolutely 0 channel imbalance. Arcam has their own house sound and back then I was a huge fan.

The Ir DAC was my first marriage into Hi-Fi DACS. I owned one for 7 years. Recently sold it as of last month. Great build quality. I really liked it and it was a terrific entry into Hi-Fi.
