Also do you guys prefer SD card input or USB input from PC?
Thanks for the reply!
How do you find the song navigation of Invicta or Mirus? Can I choose or search songs as easy as those portable players like AK240 or Sony ZX2?

no recent news about a new INVICTA with a better option to navigate in the library stored on the SD Card ?
With 512 Gb card available, the little OLED screen becomes not very convenient ! A nice powerful iPAD app will be welcomed (but this will need a Wifi or Bluetooth hardware upgrade) and turn the INVICTA into a "UBER (big) DAP"
I have the PS Audio Direct stream and the Mirus and the Mirus in my opinion is better ymmv.
Hi John,
Was wondering if you had compared the Mirus to the DA8 MkII, which as I recall you spoke of as being in the same league as the Anedio D2. How does the Mirus compare to Yulong's flagship DAC?
On another note, I just got my Violectric V281 and it's thrown a spanner in the works wrt the DA8 and the D2 - I thought the D2 was the winner for me, but now it just might be that I preferred the D2's headphone section...
I like it better than heavy-hitters I've tried like the PS Audio Directstream
They showed two new products at RMAF recently. One was the new Veritas DAC, which slots between the Invicta and Concero lines - just the thing people have been asking for. The other product, not quite as far along in development at this point, is the streaming product. Very little info available but hopefully I'll have something to share soon enough.
Here's some coverage of both, for your reading pleasure.
Oh I've been waiting to hear your thoughts wrt Directstream vs Mirus. Did you post that somewhere and I missed it? Otherwise, could you tell us a bit more about it?
And what a difference an amp makes! I've had about an hour with the D2 and DA8 hooked up to the V281, and now I'm distinctly preferring the DA8 - its soundstage has really opened up with the V281 and I can really tell the difference between the huge hall on Gergiev's Mahler 2 vs. the more intimate studio of Yo-yo Ma's Attaboy. The D2, no slouch in other areas, is beginning to sound bland when it comes to reproducing the space of the recording.
The DA8 also used to fatigue me, but now surprisingly its the D2 that fatigues me with its flat sound....I'm genuinely surprised!
Seems like I have to do a lot more listening over the next few weeks...
I have heard the TH900 driving from Invicta and the Antelope Zodiac Platinum recently, personally i prefer the Zodiac Platinum more than the Invicta out from their headphone section. They both has a very good built in headphone section anyway.
