Highly recommended, and the silver looks gorgeous. It sounds more relaxed due to the typical noise of the tubes. Filter 1 is the most neutral, Filter 2 is the “more voluminous” and Filter 3 is the “gentler”.

Compared to Dacmagic, it's like pulling a curtain away from the boxes. The inputs and filters can also be adjusted.

For just under 240-270 €, you have a good and flexible device with a very good price/performance ratio. Unfortunately, Hires-USB is my problem child, which I only got to work cleanly on the PC with the topping drivers (USB3, ASIO and Foobar) and local music.

Goal: I purchased the DAC to play HD audio via USB. PC USB, Raspi USB, Raspi with Hifiberry Digi+ Pro Coax and CD player Cambridge 640C Coax. This applies in particular to high female voices and, for example, organ or wind instruments of a similar frequency. [[videoid:1847ecd5f4b853dd074274c10bb3d871] I've been thinking for a long time about what and whether I should write to a Chinese-made hi-fi device because I don't want to assign myself to a warehouse of audiophiles.
Perfect! Lossy compressed music thus acquires audible artifacts.
For the rest of my hi-fi chain, including headphones, I placed great emphasis on relative analytical playback with a bit of a tendency to increase altitude. Music of electronic music is mostly heard.
In addition to taste, the hearing impression is also subjective. In normal operation, there are only dropouts if, for example, lights are switched on or off several times in the room or when relays from smart sockets switch on. NAS must also be fast.
