"Hot" as in temperature? treble?
Have you been volume matching? I just got the ref5.32 and it is slightly hotter than every other source I have (including my collection of other AGD DACs) so there's basically no way I can compare it with anything because on an A/B check it will always win and volume matching takes too much work.
6. Perhaps I thought the "fullness" of sound and the stronger bass response of the Ref 7.1 was from a higher volume output. So, I tried comparing with the Ref 7.1 volume lowered by a notch compared to everything else. However, this did not change my impression of superiority of the Ref 7.1 in tone/timbre, soundstage, and bass depth and texture.
Does anyone know if the Reference 7.1 will be given the ".32" treatment (i.e. is there a 7.32 in the works?), or is the Master 7 effectively the 7.32?
There are other differences.
The Master 7 isnt just a Ref 7.1 + usb32.

hi,i am searching a DAC and amp for d7100, how does the combation of reference 7+ master 8? Does reference 5 and reference 7 really have obvious difference of sound quality? How about reference 10?
