Start with Upgrade to DAC?
I believe @mdalton was one of several that were rude to me because I was using a MacMini.  I took their advice and ditched my MacMini. I am so glad I did. The difference was big.   A couple months later I set the MacMini up again for confirmati...

LOL. Windom stuck on my PSAudio DAC. I need to get what PSAudio calls a firmware rescue.   If only we could leave things alone, right?   TD

@wolf_garcia Sorry you didn't like them. I think you did not let them fully break-in. I heard what you heard until a few days later and the SNAP*! they changed. But if you're missing anything, it's probably very subtle.
