How does it sound?

one hell of a dac for sure. the bass has literally come alive!

[blessingx]

Very nice. Like the gay-friendly ribbons. Is that button above the headphone jack or a light?

[Hopstretch]

Shit, Reks beat me to it.

Look out behind you!

[ojnihs]

[tiberian]

yea, i don't have any single ended sennheiser cable right now to test the headphone out of the dac.

more impressions...

in comparision to the transporter the CEC dac resolved ambient information well - noticeably better than the transporter. i can certainly understand why some people wasn't impressed by the transporter - some of the essence just wasn't there.

some of the essence just wasn't there.

Is that an audiophile term?

[grawk]

I don't think you're really doing much of a test if you're using the XLR outs on the dac to test. I mean, it's great if it works, but it's just dumb luck when it does.

[morphsci]

^^^ But how else can you hear all the essence?

[Pars]

Nice meter, whatever it's for... and the rainbow cables have to be a big contributor to the essence. Props to the number of caps they stuffed in there.

The stand up cards are interesting as they almost indicate future moar better pluggables?

Nice meter, whatever it's for...

I think it's just volume.
