Audio Mirror WAVE DAC k

The Wave DAC looks interesting for sure. Hopefully Vlad or an early adopter will chime in. I have the Tubadour VI which is amazing. I sent Vlad my III SE in as a trade up. The VI has all the analog qualities of past AM Dac's with an incredible infusion of greater detail, air and more layered spatial presence. Nothing is smoothed over or obscured, very transparent and yet so musical and emotive.

I've had the Wave DAC in my system for the past month along with Vlad's flagship Wave Preamp.  These are both incredible pieces and the synergy between the two is magical.  I've owned & heard many good DAC's over the years but the Wave is way above anything I've heard before.  Prior to the Wave I was using a very good APL HiFi tube DAC & a Denafrips Terminator Plus.  Both of these DAC's sounded very nice but I was missing something.  I wanted more realism, more emotional connection to the music.  The Wave provides amazing transparency, detail & resolution.  The soundstage is wide, deep & has good height.  The bass is incredible and the highs are crisp & clean without being bright.  The mid range is perfect with beautiful vocals.  This is the most analog sounding DAC I've heard.  The separation of instruments & vocals is uncanny.  The listening experience is involving and never fatiguing.  The sound has a weight, presence & density that was missing with my previous DAC's.  I'm very satisfied.
