One of the more discernable failures of other competing DACs is their inability to faithfully recreate the space, and the subtleties of the physical placements and interrelationships, of the instruments spanning the soundstage. So many of even the most well-regarded offerings deliver a decidedly more dimensionally flattened instrumental image and limit the depth and breadth of their layering, presenting something that resembles more of a cardboard cutout propped up in front of you rather than offering the sense of the more real spherical wave launch and presence you so lucidly experience when hearing live instruments played in a real space. This near-consistent weakness of many DACs has been one of the most crucial factors fueling my ongoing resistance to digital music playback over the years.
