Recessed treble for e17 the DAC?
Hi all,
I am a happy owner of the e17 thus far, I know at this price I shouldn't be complaining, but one nitpick I have is the treble of the e17 when used as a DAC. Especially when playing strings music it is lacking both in treble quantity and quality. I did a quick rmaa loopback test and it confirmed my concern. The e17 as a dac is sloping down sharply after 10khz. This to me is disappointing considering the tight bass and sweet & forward mids.
Agree/disagree?
