Esoteric v DCS


I'm going all in for a new DAC this year . I'm leaning to Esoteric D2x oe DCS Rossini. Does anyone have any experience with how these sound? thanks

I have owned an Esoteric DAC and now own the tried but true dCS Debussy DAC. I found in my system the Esoteric to be too bright and forward. The Debussy is warm and lush.

dCS for me!
@sciencecop - going down the cable/power rabbit hole to tame the sound of the Esoteric can be an expensive proposition and can do just as much harm as good.
