I love what my Tranquility and my SW1X III do for my listening experience (and great pleasure!). I listen almost exclusively to CD quality music. Combining different chips with different architectures yields different listening experiences. Sure, within the R2R/NOS DAC world there are less great sounding and there are fantastic sounding DACs. That's what they were designed to do in the first place. They all do something better (IMHO) than multibit DACs. I've never knowingly heard a DAC based on the TDA1321, but I have heard a couple older MDHT at an audiophools' G2G, a Denafrips Venus in my system, and my own dB Audiolabs Tranquility SE (1543) DAC, and my SW1X III STD NOS DAC (TDA1541). I have an incredibly difficult time describing what I hear when my either of my NOS DACs are in my systems.Īnyway, I must keep this short because I've got a 2-hour drive ahead of me. Not a single R2R/NOS DAC that I have demoed or auditioned in my systems have been what I would call 'laid back' - unless 'laid back' is the opposite of 'sterile and analytical'(?). I've been absent for quite a while, but I'd like to add my thoughts for your consideration.
