Kudos to YULONG for providing a review sample! I wish more companies do this.
Also, I am not a fan of ESS for their sound but that is more of a personal preference. DSD512 is a hard no-no in my book, however. Many tracks I listen to are exactly in DSD512 and there is no way in hell I convert those just for a given DAC.
As for the MQA, guys above said it - industry was better off without it.
Edit: and kudos to our resident squirrel guy for the review. I see some nice gear on your hands there.
IDK, there is something about long, exhaustive reviews of audio gear where no stone is left unturned. I just enjoy reading them. Just pour some 18 yrs old one (or a fat cup of coffe, depending on the mood) and slowly absorb each and every word, sentence and line of thought.
Maybe that's why I'm so harsh on
@VSG and other audio reviewers?
