100+ Head-Fier
Audio Advisor told me I should return it via Amazon. They mentioned Sumiko IIRC as the manufacturer and that if it goes out I’d have to have it repaired by them. Thanks Left Channel for driving that home.
It’s too bad, because I like the character of the sound on this thing. Bass guitar and drum kits in particular just have that certain something and sound great on my tube amp with this DAC and even the built in headphone amp.
I recently got an iFi Micro Black Label that also sounds very good, just a tad different and no MQA or display screen.
If Qobuz has tons of high res streaming that could be a good substitute if I can manage the subscription fee. I’m not tied to MQA since I use it simply because Tidal offers it, but I do like having the feature. The Liberty lacks a screen and uses and older chip so the $1000 price point is kind of tough. If I had the cash I’d get a Mytek Brooklyn + but it’s just so much more money that it doesn’t make sense.
