- Black backgrounds
- Clarity and microdetail
- mid range/vocals come out clearly
It seems to make rebook 16/44 sound fantastic too.
There are a few reviews on YouTube and on the web.
I read your words about reviews on the web, mate, but I've come to trust a lot of folks right here on the AAF; hence, the direct question about what you like about your DAC. I've never owned one, so cheers for the words.

P.S. - Do you have any Experience with the Bryston 3.14 DAC (aka, Bryston Pi)?
