Update:
Did some equalization with REW. A small (<4db) correction was needed to suppress upper bass and lower midrange.
There was a significant improvement (especially on vocals) but I think I am hearing the poor DAC's in the MiniDsp2x4. When I take the DSP out I can hear the better Denafrips DAC but with the DSP this is compensated by the better tonal balance. In otherwords both have imperfections and I am not sure which I like better.
My MiniSharc board is on the way and the promise of equalization while preserving the Denafrips DAC's qualities may be realized, I hope.
