I've had one for a number of years. Although it is well regarded, I found it somewhat clinical and hard to listen to for extended periods. I much preferred a diy RAKK DAC. Recently, I made some minor modifications to it based on a thread on diyaudio. I was delighted with the change; it became enjoyable. Now I prefer it to the RAKK. All subjective of course, and I'm always open to the notion that it was all a perception/expectation delusion. -- Jitterbug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jitterbug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4955 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47327 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
