Thank You for explaining the differences you heard and your own listening preference. It is very helpful to me. Really appreciate it. I am sure you get plenty joy listening to music through your well thought out system. Enjoy your music.

For some reason I was thinking you had a system for years ago. But this system seems only from 2021. Maybe I am wrong.

Did you recently upgrade to the T+A DAC? I have read nothing but good reviews about this DAC. What other DACs did you listen to before ending up with this one. Would love to read about your DAC journey. If possible, please let us know whenever you have a few minutes to write up.Thanks!
