It has quite a distinctive presentation that I (and Brian) find appealing.
That may or may not be a valid generalisation.
Perhaps Brian would like to throw in his 2p worth as well?
Think you've nailed it here Jerry . I've owned quite a few DACs over the years and this is the most organic one I have heard to date . It sounds so unforced yet natural , with bags of detail . It's just a real joy to listen to
