Thanks to everyone who gave their impressions. This is a pretty exciting dac. Right now I have an hd800s, zmf Auteur and Atticus and was running them out of a burson conductor sl 9018. A great dac and amp but I just upgraded to an hdv820 which blows the Burson away in every way.
I wonder if I can still make a big gain in sound quality adding this dac to my chain rather then using the built in dac of the hdv.
A few questions for those of you running this dac in your chains are any of you doing it in USB mode ? If so how does that compared to other input modes?
I know one member mentioned in some ways it was better than dave but another member said it was behind the 2qute in at least dynamics. This makes me a bit confused as to where it genuinely stands among other totl dacs.
Are there any further thoughts how it compares to other high end dacs such as yggy 2 or qutest/Hugo ?
What's the deal with sbaf? Their thread over there on this dac is filled with nothing but hostility.
Thanks !
