Since a thread for the new M300 MK2 does not exist, I thought I would create it. A few people on headfi now own this DAC, myself included.
Video is too long. What is TLDW ? I guess slow filter causes some treble roll of but makes the transient response better. Not sure though.After watching this, and his conclusion review video< I started doing some higher volume listening, trying to recreate the presentation in that video. Now I understand why the engineer liked Filter 5 "Super Slow" It really does allow for the lower registers to wake up. I was able to do some compensation on the mids/treble by giving the preamp one notch in the gain. (my tube preamp) And so i played some the music he lists in his playlist using Amazon Music HD, and opened the Asgard 3 to about 2:30. Damn... I had my own private concert. Really was a great experience, and glad the DT-1990 scaled accordingly. I have new respect for these cans.
SMSL has the M400 DAC coming out in the next couple weeks. It has the AKM 4499 in it. You may want to wait for that.
Buy new headphone or speaker instead. Dacs aren't gonna change much if you already have decent one. How is MQA btw ? Did you tried it ?It is way overpriced at $800 which is not something I would pay for slight variety. M300 is more interesting.
