Last Sunday , i had a chance to play this DAC in my system ( Thanks to hifiPal4All ) and WoW ! i was blown away with the overall improvement in Sonics . The DAC upgrade is a long pending one for me , while i like this dac very much , would like to hear from the esteemed FMs on other options available at this price range and any comparison done with this DAC .
The improvements in my system ( & in my room ) were
-> All of a sudden the setup becomes more dynamic
-> Separation was really great with the 3D sound stage, i never thought my current speakers are capable of it .
-> Very Smooth, unforced musical flow , but at the same time very dynamic. When the music demands it , this DAC brings it out.
-> The complex part of the music never loose its composure . With other less expensive DACs, it gets confused and congested .
-> Very fast and rhythmic
-> Bass improved a lot and very fast/quick
-> Both Audiophile and non-audiophile tracks were enjoyable . For the first time , i liked the recent movie tracks ( many i never played before completely ) in this system .
