Don't sell the DAC short. My preference is for a mid-hall presentation which the KO1x DAC provides. The 5206's DAC is more of a front row seat, it has a multitude of filters to tailor the sound and has a very quiet background. If not for the KO1x I could happily live with this DAC. It also plays DSD without any annoying pops, cracks or unwanted pauses.
