What percent of the upgraded sound would you attribute to the streamer and what percent to the DAC? As far as I can tell you have upgraded both, and many may have gotten those improvements by simply upgrading their DAC.
Upgraded from Node to 432-evo-aeon-music-server and its another world sonically
I recently upgraded from a BlueSound Node to a 432Evo Aeon and the difference is astonishing. Across the board improvements in soundstage size and depth, dynamics, blackness of background, bass articulation and impact. Solo intruments and voices have more body and presence and compex musical passages are made more comprehensible both through the clarity of individual intruments as well as the overall balance between the players. The result is a highly detailed but musical sound by no means analytical. Not an xray but full blooded rich lucious sound.There are also a wide range of filters and adjustments to tailor the sound to individual taste and systems. It also functionally combines streamer/cd ripper/roon core. It has a bit perfect ripper as well a 2tb ssd standard with option to order larger drives for additional charge.
Also, it's modular with an upgrade path at any level and a greater likelihood of being futureproof. As far as 432 tuning is concerned I will leave it up to each owner to decide how much to use it. I dont use it in my normal listening but there is so much else to recommend about the sound quality of this unit that it's the least consequential aspect of a purchasing decision to purchase. Not cheap but well worth the money for a great digital front end.
