It has certainly warmed up and is quite intoxicating now. Lovely.
Accuphase DAC-50: Glaring sibilance
I updated the user slide-in DAC board from an Accupohase DAC-30 to the newest DAC-50. The brightness is way too harsh.
The DAC-30 uses two Texas Instruments PCM1796 chips driven in parallel for each channel. While the newest DAC-50 DAC uses AK4490EQ chips from Asahi Kasei Microdevices in a double parallel configuration per channel."
The only changed variable in my system is this updated, new DAC-50 placed into my Accuphase E-550.
Suggestions to minimize brightness are appreciated-
Any experiences with the DAC-50? Will burn-in time help? An outboard clock make sense?
Thanks, Musically, Ken
