I find Lampizator dacs to be forward sounding in general. Perhaps you could demo one. The vocals are also up front.
Is there such thing as a "vocal" forward DAC?
My system right now is an iFi Zen Stream, Schiit Modius, Schiit Freya + & DAC x-Cherry 2 powering Spatial Audio M3 Triode Masters.
I'm quite happy with it but the M3TM are known for a more relaxed vocal, maybe even rolled off highs which makes the vocals at times sound like they are farther back in the soundstage, behind the drums even and I don't like that at all. The highs in fact are fine for my ears but the vocals bothers me.
Before I start down the road of replacing these I was wondering if there is a DAC that is considered a vocal forward type sound, I know it might not be enough to make a huge change but any change is good right now for my setup. I'm not a neutral/flat critic and in fact like a more "flavored" styled sound.
Is there such a thing or am I asking too much of a DAC?
