Does anyone here made a direct compariton between A20H and X20Pro? I am strongly considering buying A20H as DAC in my hifi system. I have Roksan Caspian M2 amp and Usher speakers. I want to use A20H as external DAC to my Auralic Aries Mini streamer, which internal DAC is strongly limiting all my stereo system What I want is big scene, separation, great vocals, rich full sound, rather on a warmer side. I listen mostly to classic, jazz, world, etc. Most important factor for me is the most realistic reproduction of piano, because I am piano lover.
I know they are not hi-end machines, but if they perform like twice expensive DAC's from reputable "western" companies, than it's fine choice. I have to buy a DAC anyway to connect other sources to it, but my limit is around 700$, be it used or new DAC. I am asking, because it has great review, and I think it will be very hard to find a competition in that price, if any exists.
I do not care whether this is called Gustard or Linn or whatever, name doesn't matter, performance matter.
If you have some suggetionts for competitive products, feel free to write it here.
I read all that topic, but there is no clear answer, whether X20Pro and A20H are different or the first one (due to price / equipment) ratio is just better as DAC. I know some suggested it has, but here are also great reviews about A20 as well.
