Resonessence Mirus Pro DAC review

I am an owner of the Resonessence Mirus Pro DAC. It is one of the best Dacs I have ever heard. I sent my Mirus in to be upgraded by Mark Mallison of resonessence labs. I upgraded from the Mirus to the Mirus Pro. This Pro version plays bigger. The soundstage is a little deeper and the highs are a little more airy. This Dac is being used with my Gato FM6 speakers and my KR Audio VA 900 integrated amplifier. It has a great soundstage with nice layering. There are 8 different filters that you can use to slightly adjust the sound to your system. This Dac would be a great source in any system even the ultra high end systems. I have compared it to the PS Audio Directstream and the Brooklyn Dac and I preferred slightly over the Ps Audio with the Brooklyn coming up the rear. I have really enjoyed my Mirus Pro DAC. I actually use the SD card slot to play my music from so I don't have to be hooked up to a computer. The people at resonessence labs have hit a home run with this DAC and the upgrade. I have used it streaming TIDAL from USB and it still sounds great. I have really enjoyed this product and it will stay in my system a long time.

I heard the previous model at THE SHOW in L.A. playing directly into some 20 year amp. The amp was nothing fancy and was purposely chosen my  Resonessence to show how good the DAC was playing on a so-so amp. I loved the sound it was the best DAC I have heard so far. It is hard for me to tell the difference between DACs but this one had something about it that really brought a smile to my face.

My next DAC purchase (for living room system) must be able to drive amp(s) directly without an analogue preamp and it must also support HQPlayer at it highest resolution. I am also hoping for MQA but that is not a showstopper.

DACs  I am considering (depends on my $$$ too):

T+A DAC8 DSD
Resonessence Mirrus Pro
