Need a DAC Recommendation.

I really appreciate your thoughts and comments jjss49!

You consistently pass along some of the most useful and clearly spoken advice on this forum.  

I recommend Ares II. Today I put back in Qutest and I was not too happy. Chord was resolving but sound was thin. Ares II warmer and fuller but wee bit less resolving like in layering of stage and top end air but Ares more enjoyable to listen to. With Qutest I wanted to turn my system off and call it a day!

  rbstehno1 You're absolutely right.

Toppings makes great products. 

There is a review by Amir that he reviewed the schiit DAC and found some flaws. 

He worked with the company and they made changes to improve their product. 

Facts are facts. 

Measurements are Measurements

blah blah blah

it’s about the music, the magic of the performance, the emotional connection ... measurements may instruct at some rudimentary level but do not even capture a half of it
