I have extensively lived with this dac.
Fantastic for the money.
Very capable in all audiophile tick boxes except: transparency, dynamic, details.
When i say except , i m very extreme, cause it is good but not really good, for exemple chord dave outperformed it in these requirements.
I had dave also many times in my system , but lacked that body texture tonality the denfs give.
I wanted a dac with dave musculature and denafrips refinement tonality misicality and went with aries cerat kassandra ref2.
I got what i needed and much much more.
A friend own the denafrips, he recently added the dsp new module and he said it went up 2 notch musically.
Very nice dac, but i needed the best.
Regards
