I see all of your posts are asking the same thing. Just because a product retailed for $40K does not mean anything. I have read where people say something is built like a tank. All this means nothing until you understand design and what makes something sound good. A heavy chassis does not mean built like a tank.
It comes down to the design and parts used.
the high resolution files simply uncovers more subtle nuances, warmth, depth of field and air around instruments and musicians.
This statement is simply not true at all. Most high rez files do not have warmth compared to properly designed NOS DAC designs. They may have more detail but in my experience give up the musical sound quality that NOS has. But having a DHT DAC, I don't give up anything.
Happy Listening.
