Well I bought it and I've had 2-3 days.
Preamble
First of all I want to say that I have no point of comparison being new to the world of CAD.
Then I was skeptical when putting these are in "simple converters 0101".
I'm tempted, saying that at worst with amazon, I can send for a month (the US manufacturer offers the same thing as he is confident).
In the Doc it is said that to make the most must run the 40-50h.
My config:
MacBook Pro with iTunes player and 11 "bitperfect" (9th on the mac app store) that transmits everything to the DAC, connected by USB then my Ultimate Ears UE 900
My opinion of the beast
I got a real first listening session last night before bed (good in the end I shifted the dod a little).
Very different style of music: Jazz, Electro, Rock, Classic, Movie Soundtracks, Pop, Reggae etc.
In a word: Wow!
It's a new life that is offered to my 900 EU which 10 months! Especially what I say cunt not have to buy a good DAC before! : Ane:
I'll try to find the words to express what I feel, in bulk:
More "musical", more melodic, less metal, "artificial".
The voices, instruments, effects are spatialized, move more "quickly" with more punch.
The notes (voices, instruments) gives the impression last "longer".
Already with my Triple Fi 10 EU then my 900 I had rediscovered my songs, there is even more monumental!
On film soundtracks of Hans Zimmer, Daft Punk, Steve Jablonsky, I was often disappointed because when it "went up" too much, there were too instrument, it is as if the whole was saturated.
Here, nay! On "Time" from the soundtrack of Inception, it's as if they went up an octave and we heard a layer of instruments in addition to every movement towards the end.
After a while we say this is not possible, we can not hear anymore, and then you resume a layer, a second, a third! : Love:: love:: love:
On C2C, there has such strength, power, dynamics, liveliness that emerges, I'm almost been traumatized
On many titles, such as Michael Jackson, Seal, AC-DC, in addition to all the qualities already listed in general, I found many shades, instruments, I had never heard, yet the EU 900 are far from bad ones, but they were simply under-utilized, under-nourished.
In general, you can clearly hear the difference with the MP3 with low bitrate (this was already the case but even more) and especially between the bad and the rest sloppy records.
If I had to summarize, I would say that the instruments, recordings sound more real, realistic.
Really I thought the DAC were a marketing bullshit, but I fourvoyais, we must recognize it now!
