Nahhh it's me. Some assholes gave me neg points as well so I give neg points to everyone randomly.. kind of revenge if that makes sense.

That makes as much sense as a bag of hammers. ???

Sorry,  I couldn't even think that a so stupid idea could have been taken seriously so I didn't feel the need of emoticons.

A head-fier is selling his TotalDac d1-dual for a pretty good price and so I am evaluating it.  I am also evaluating an Aurender N10 against my Aries.  While my bias is to like what I have better, I have to say that both items that aren't mine kick butt over what I have, and not by a small margin.  This is the best DAC I have ever heard on a headphone and without question I can consistently pick it out in a blind test (in fact, I have done just this against my Bricasti 5/5 times with 5 different tracks).  In this scenario, R2R clearly beats delta sigma.  Uggh.



Romaz,

Have you ever compared your Aries (or any streamer) with a high end converter (OR5/AP2 and the like)? I continue to wonder how they match up in SQ.
