This thing arrived last night. I am very impressed so far! I thought the DAC in my Marantz NA7004 was pretty good as it has its own "filter" in the M--DAX feature. (N/A these days on newer models BTW).
Streaming TIDAL-The Project S2 took my system to an immediate and instantly recognizable level of detail. Be aware that using the supplied 5v power adapter is not recommended with the USB connection. ( I did as purist seem to swear off USB power from a pc) The 7 filters on the Project are also not available when playing MQA files.
Either way this unit , as well as the addition of the Jolida Foz SS-X Tube buffer & sound stage expander, have given me unlimited options in screwing around with different tweaks and adjustments for my OCD listening habits. A+ for value.
