Denafrips Ares ii
One question I have for you Denafrips DAC owners, from top to bottom. I have heard it said numerous times about lengthy break in-burn in. Have any of you noticed any such additional need of "waking up", if for say you unplugged this unit for a d...

Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3
