Thanks for the feedback, Gwarmi - its always refreshing to hear the voice of dissent on HF, particularly when so many new products are greeted with such glowing praise from the get-go.
Yeh I try to keep it real, I don't get my jollies from spruiking rainbows or raining on anyone's parade, thankfully
rx79ez08 (another Melburnian!) pointed out that I was running USB mode 1, plus all I had was WASAPI on the
A2A laptop.
Will try again in USB 2 mode, with an Audiophilleo 2 SPDIF transport and the CA Asio driver
and ask that the store burn it in from today ~ if it falls over after that then my original review will stand unfortunately.
All things considered with the DAC section ~ the head amp section is hardly something to get excited about.
No specs either from CA, plus the unmarked volume dial is likely to be a deal breaker for many eg, listen to hard
house on your HD650, switch to a Grado for rock without resetting the volume
Boom - bye bye hearing.
