And how did the AirLens do with different DACs? When I compared them, I could hear a thin sound but clear sound with the Cambridge Audio DAC-Magic200—the streamer handles itself but is “too clean and bashful”. When I connected the Wiim Pro Plus it was a “crisp-shouting” sound. I used the DAC from the Wiim Pro Plus, but I also compared it as a streamer (to the Stellar Strata) and here it lacked substance—the non-naturalness, and digital quality were there. But when I connected the AirLens to the Stellar Strata the sound was alive, full, and pleasant to the ear, separation yes, but more so a laid-back sound, clean as well. It’s difficult to describe a specific characteristic of the AirLens, but it is warmer than I expected. I thought it would be more on the neutral side, but no, and I’m not complaining.
