C390DD - Review

I have been listening to the following setup the last couple of days
Mac Mini=>Itunes =>C390dd=>MA GS20.
(I used to have a wyred dac2 + wyred MC5).The sound does not excite at all..I need to be at -20db(+8 being the max) to make the midrange(vocals to stand out)..Instruments,Just feels recessed..

Anyone using c3900DD,who can share their views?
Cheers

Yes indeed you must use the correct impedance settings for your speaker - if you don't it is a bit ordinary. See the manual how to do that.

Thanks

Since I posted ,I have downloaded pure music and bitperfect on Mac ..even without any up sampling this sounds much better to me..I have mostly iTunes downloaded songs..the am gs20's are rated at 6 ohm impedance,and I set the same in the nad amp..

Kalyan, are you getting better results? I'm early in my evaluation of the 390DD but have also found that vocals are quite recessed.
