I posted this elsewhere in describing the DA2 with V2 firmware versus the DA2's performance with its release firmware:
My initial impressions were as follows: The vocals, instrument delineation, density of what's there, added meat on the bone, harmonic richness, musicality - WOW!!!!! Everything that was lacking has been addressed - it is now the player that I hoped it would be. After further listening a few other items stood out to me: - The low level information I am hearing now is stunning - sucking me into the performance. - The last vestige of lean-nes in the treble has been banished to the point where I can maximally enjoy the benefits of the beryllium tweeter in my speakers without any hint of fatigue. - Distance between performers front to back is more obvious which now perfectly compliments the existing width of the Soundstage. - While transients are a touch slower than before, they are more natural and explosiveness is startling. The best compliment I can give the DA2 is that it's now so good that I can finally declare my system done after 12 years of work. |

I have a DAC 2X and TSDX. It made me re enter the world of cd's when I got it. Before that, I would just rip a disc when and put it on the shelf. Now, I am enjoying the physical media again.

So ... I brought home a DA2 this weekend and its burning in as we speak. It hasn't gotten the V2 upgrade yet so looking forward to that. Figured I'd listen to it for a minute as is then apply the upgrade so I'll feel like I got something new all over again! So far its so far above the ARC DAC9 I had that it wouldn't be fair to compare it ... but then again neither is the price
