Yeah I have to kind of temper my opinions on new gear because I tend to have a always prefer the old sound I'm more familiar with. When I moved from the 106D to the Soloist I hated the presentation, but came to appreciate its strengths. Same notion holds true for the DACmini vs Soloist, I find myself noticing some grain/etch in the treble on the DACmini that makes it more fatiguing over time, and also more mid-range detail in the Burson. These things aren't really swaying my choice though as I find the differences minor. The more time spent with the gear you just happen to pick up these little idiosyncrasies.
Wow Barid!
I'm really excited to read your comparison of the DACmini PX headphone amp vs. the Burson Soloist! I've been comparing the DACmini CX to the Soloist for seven months, now, and I couldn't agree more with your impressions. Seriously!
