Very nice comparison DACLadder!
Regarding the neutrality and coloration of the M7. My experience is like DACLadder’s that the M7 + OR5 do have some light mid-bass bloom and also a bit recessed upper mid (more without the OR5). Together this can makes the sound a bit congested, murky and less dynamic, at least if comparing to some other really good DACs. With a good ACSS cable I didn’t experience this problem at all (recessed upper mid and mid-bass bloom). Anyone else that has got the same result/change with and without ACSS?
