hikmer,

Do you feel the glare and harshness are gone because Sonica is warmer, more laid back or maybe a bit less extended in Hf?

Many thanks Hikmer for the description!

Seems like Sonica is a great Dac for playing DSD.

Sadly there are not much DSD selection for mortals.
Can you please try some PCM vs your 105 (or maybe some other player)?

Thanks drewportland!

Seems that the new ES9038 chip has justified itself.
Have you ever tried it with TV (opt out) as a source?
