I am still on the DAC hunt ...snip... I am looking for something with great clarity, but not a harsh bite.

The Spring has excellent detail/clarity, yet remains smooth and musical without any shrillness.
It is definitely not syrupy in any way. Take your time to make the right decision for yourself. I will say this as well…if I needed another DAC tomorrow, I'd buy the spring without hesitation, and I sincerely mean what I'm saying.
@ufospls2- I'll second @joseph69's comments. The Spring is a very detailed DAC. The NOS mode feels very natural - no syrup.
The Spring really shines when paired with a Singxer SU-1. The combination takes the already good Spring DAC and bumps the performance up a notch.
