Very warm sounding DAC, I am using it with my Rega Saturn. Very warm sounding and detailed. Not like the Arcam DAC I have now purchased to go wireless. The Arcam is very bright, I hope it goes away with time. The Birdland keeps all the information there, but has a very vinyl-like quality sound to it IMO. Reminds me of when I used to play my records on my family's RCA. Hope that helps.
