As one can see everyone has a favorite.The Kora does not upsample and therefore is not the latest technology.I perfer the sound of the upsampling dacs.I've owned the dodson 217 latest, the kora, and the Audiomeca and find the upsamplers to provide improved focus ,resolution and dynamics.Keep in mind some systems may not allow for the differences to be as notable as the extremes may be inherently missing.Total noise in a system may also cause a lack of inner detail which is the hallmark of higher resolution.
