^Yes, George. and that was th case with all previous class Ds that I owned, but, the Audio alchemy is different. I can hear the resonance and warmth of same inside acoustic guitars, coronets...
FYI: as much as I hated to, I sold my Hattor XLR, but the Audio Alchemy DAC/Pre is damned nice and pairs perfectly with my AA stereo amp
