Well .... I owned a high end audio store for 6 years, so I tried literally everything from Theta Digital, Ayre, Linn, Naim, DCS, Classe, McCormack, BEL, B&K, Accuphase, and many more ......
Shall I go on ?
Oh, details ? OK
It has more dynamics and extension than my Bel Canto DAC 3.5, it sounds more realistic than my Theta Gen V ii, and sounds way more like a live music event than my Naim CDX player.
Matter of fact, the only digital sources that I have owned that I think equal or better it are my $5000 Lexicon RT-20 player, and my $7000 Accuphase DP-78 player.
