got a D3 myself, wondering if the D10 would be a step up to the D3 in dac section.
looking forward to reading impressions

Just like speakers, most of the first 5 watts is all that is required and often just a couple of watts. Loud and heavy bass will take more, without a doubt, unless something efficient, which is where I have normally stayed. |

The reply was, "Comparing to the D3, the treble is more extended and the bass is deeper now. You can judge that by yourself. Also, I think the D10 can beat any of our products if using optical or coaxial inputs." Second, "Regarding to why we add DIP socket for opamp rolling, because more people request this feature." (i.e. meaning not because the sound needs to be improved.) |
